Features
Entry Level Aruba CX Access Layer Switches
-
The Aruba 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 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 370W of Class 4 PoE.
-
Simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required.
Performance and Power
-
The Aruba 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 Aruba CX 6000 switch models that support up
to 370W 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 Aruba 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.
-
Software-defined ready with REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks.
-
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).
Robust Security to Protect Your Network
-
The Aruba Instant On 1960 Switch Series lets you use VLANs and Access Control Lists to set
bounds on what data can be seen by which users.
-
Leverage 802.1X with a RADIUS server to ensure only known and authorized users can access your
network.
-
Supports Automatic denial-of-service (DOS) monitors and protects the network against malicious
attacks.
