Features

The switch series offers unified management across wired, wireless, and WAN using HPE Aruba Networking Central.

It reduces 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).

AI-ready performance and power

It simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch Series is designed with a dedicated ASIC that delivers very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption needed for AI, Wi-Fi 7, and Internet of Things (IoT) requirements.

It has fully-managed enterprise-class switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with support for static routing, access control lists (ACLs), robust quality of service (QoS), traffic prioritization, sFlow®, and IPv6.

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

It support for up to six switches (or members) in a stack through chain or ring topology.

It offers the flexibility to create stacks that span longer distances such as hundreds of meters across campuses to kilometers between sites.

It offers virtual switching framework (VSF) stacking – Scale and simplicity

It has the flexibility to mix 24 and 48-port modular and fixed CX 6100 models.

It has up to 740W IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE with up to 30W per port supports newer Wi-Fi 7 and PoE devices.

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch Series provides flexibility to manage and simplify configurations with HPE Aruba Networking Central, HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software, easy-to-use web GUI, or industry-standard CLI.

Entry-level Layer 2 access switches
Simplified configuration and management

The switch series delivers a simple, consistent operator experience with the HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) used across HPE Aruba Networking CX switching platforms.

The CX 6100 series provides right-size deployment with choice of 12, 24, and 48-port 1U models with convenient built-in 1/10GbE uplinks and up to 740W of Class 4 PoE.

The HPE Aruba Networking 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.

HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes and verifies policy conformance post network updates.

The CX 6100 series is ready for software-defined networking with REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks.

It has a simplified configuration and management as the switches act as a single chassis when stacked.
