Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series is a modern family of entry-level access switches ideal for branch offices, midsize businesses, and small enterprises. Designed for reliable, simple, and security-enhanced access, the CX 6000 series provides a convenient and cost-effective wired access solution for networks supporting IoT, mobile, and cloud applications.

The series is based on the Aruba ASIC architecture with the programmable AOS-CX operating system used across the entire Aruba CX portfolio for a more consistent, more efficient operator experience. This fully managed series has convenient built-in uplinks with Class 4 PoE to support IoT devices such as security cameras and wireless APs.

Entry Level Aruba CX Access Layer Switches

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series offers Gigabit Ethernet 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 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 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, an easy-to-use Web GUI, or industry-standard CLI.

Aruba NetEdit introduces automation that allows for rapid networkwide changes and verifies policy conformance after network updates. Software-defined ready with REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks.

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