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.

Right size deployment with choice of 12, 24, and 48 port 1U models with convenient built-in 1/10 GbE uplinks and up to 740W of Class 4 PoE.

Simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required.

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 to740W IEEE 802.3at Class 4 Power over Ethernet for up to 30W per port.

Four built-in wire speed 1/10GbE uplinks eliminate bottlenecks at the access layer where users and devices connect.

Simplified Configuration and Management

The Aruba CX 6100 Switch Series provides flexibility to manage and simplify configurations with Aruba Central, Aruba NetEdit, 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.

Manage via single pane of glass with Aruba Central across wired, wireless, and WAN.

Reduce manual IT operation tasks around initial deployment or on-going configuration changes to accommodate adds, moves, and changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local-MAC-Authentication (LMA).

Software-defined ready with REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks.
