Does the HPE Aruba 2530-8G switch come with 19″ ears? Yes!

Normally the little 8 (well 10 if you include the ‘uplink’ ports) port switches we buy end up under a desk or on a shelf but for a one off we’ve got one going in a comms cabinet. Quite luckily the HPE Aruba 2530-8G come with the ears in the box to do this (I recall seeing some models of switches with this being an additional item or needing a special shelf).

You’ll still need a place to keep the power supply but that’s nothing a few cable ties can’t sort!
