Product Features
Entry level Aruba CX access layer switches
The Aruba CX 6100 Switch Series offers gigabit connectivity with high speed uplinks and optional PoE to provide entry level, reliable, and convenient wired access connectivity for enterprise branch office and SMB networks. Using Aruba AOS-CX operating system across Aruba CX switching platforms and deployment domains provides a simpler, more consistent operator experience. Fully-managed enterprise class switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with support static routing, ACLs, robust QoS, traffic prioritization, sFlow, and IPv6 support.
Performance and power
The Aruba CX 6100 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 Aruba CX 6100 switch models that support up to 740 W IEEE 802. 3at Class 4 Power over Ethernet for up to 30 W per port. Four built-in wire speed 1/10GbE uplinks eliminate bottlenecks at the access layer where users and devices connect.
