Key Specifications

Overview

The HPE Aruba CX 6200F 48G PoE+ Managed Switch JL728B#ABA is designed to provide advanced networking solutions for SMBs, enterprise branch offices, and campus environments. It integrates Layer 3 switching capabilities with a high PoE+ power budget to support various connected devices directly through network ports. The switch’s stackable design supports scalability and redundancy, enabling efficient network expansion without compromising performance.

Network Efficiency

This switch incorporates a high-performance ARM Cortex-A72 processor working at 1.8 GHz combined with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and 16 GB flash memory, ensuring rapid data processing and low latency. With a packet buffer size of 8 MB and large MAC address capacity, it maintains stable network traffic handling even in high-demand operational conditions. The latency values of 2.28 microseconds at 1 Gbps and 1.46 microseconds at 10 Gbps uplinks optimize time-sensitive applications and services.

Management and Security

The device supports a comprehensive set of remote management protocols including CLI, RMON, and MIB, combined with automation and analytics through the Aruba Network Analytics Engine. Security features such as TPM, SSL encryption, and authentication methods including SSH, RADIUS, and TACACS+ safeguard administrative access and data exchanges. This ensures policy compliance and protection against unauthorized network activities.

Connectivity and Power

The switch provides 48 PoE+ RJ-45 ports delivering up to 30W per port, along with 4 high-speed SFP+ uplinks supporting 1G and 10G connectivity. This setup facilitates direct power provisioning and high-speed data transfer for connected devices like IP phones, cameras, and access points, reducing the need for additional infrastructure and streamlining deployment.

Standards and Compliance

Conforming to a wide array of IEEE standards (including 802.1d, 802.1q, 802.1p, 802.3af, 802.3ad, 802.1w, 802.1x, 802.3at, and 802.3az), the switch ensures broad compatibility and interoperability in mixed network environments. It supports various routing protocols such as OSPFv2/v3, RIP-2, and multicast protocols to enhance network topology flexibility and performance optimization.

Scalability and Installation

The front and side-to-back rack-mountable 1U form factor enables seamless integration into standard data center racks. The unit is stackable up to eight devices across distances of up to 10 kilometers, which supports physical network resilience and increased port density for growing business requirements without complexity.

Operational Benefits

Designed to streamline operations, the switch reduces administration overhead by incorporating programmable OS capabilities for automation and analytics. This reduces manual intervention in routine tasks and enhances network visibility, aiding quicker fault isolation and optimized resource usage. It is suitable for administrators who require both high performance and efficient network management in enterprise settings.
