The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series offers Ethernet gigabit connectivity and optional PoE to provide entry-level, reliable, and convenient wired access connectivity for enterprise branch offices and SMB networks.
- Using Aruba AOS-CX operating system across Aruba CX switching platforms and access-to-core-to-data center deployment domains provides a simpler, more consistent operator experience.
- Fully-managed enterprise class switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with support for static routing, ACLs, robust QoS, traffic prioritization, sFlow, and IPv6 support.
- Right-size deployment with choice of 12, 24, and 48 port 1U models with convenient built-in 1GbE uplinks and up to 740W of Class 4 PoE.
- Simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required.
Performance and Power
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series is designed with Aruba ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption.
- Deploy wireless access points and IoT devices with HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 switch models that support up to 740W IEEE 802.3at Class 4 Power over Ethernet for up to 30W per port.
- Up to four built-in wire-speed 1GbE uplinks remove bottlenecks at the access layer where users and devices connect.
Simplified Configuration and Management
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series provides flexibility to manage and simplify configurations with Aruba NetEdit, Aruba Central [1], easy-to-use Web GUI, or industry-standard CLI.
- Aruba NetEdit introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes and verifies policy conformance post network updates.
