About the Aruba CX 6200
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200 Switch Series is a next-gen family of stackable access switches ideal for enterprise branch offices, campuses, and SMB networks. Created for game-changing operational efficiency with built-in analytics and automation, the CX 6200 switches provide an enterprise-class access layer solution that's simple and secure.
Built from the ground up with a combination of cutting-edge hardware, software and analytics and automation tools, the stackable CX 6200 switches are part of the HPE Aruba Networking CX switching portfolio. By combining a modern, fully programmable operating system with the HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE), the CX 6200 brings industry leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to the access layer.
A powerful HPE Aruba Networking Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers reliable performance and enterprise-class feature support with flexible programmability for tomorrow's applications. The CX 6200 is designed for simple deployment using the intuitive HPE Aruba Networking CX Mobile App that speeds install, configuration and stacking of up to 8 switches. The CX 6200 switch series includes fixed (CX 6200F) and modular (CX 6200M) switches with built-in high-speed uplinks. Fixed switches support up to 30W of PoE per port. Flexible, modular switches offer hot-swappable power supplies and fans for enhanced resiliency and redundancy, and up to 60W of PoE per port to power the latest IoT devices, security cameras, and wireless APs.
HPE Aruba Networking Dynamic Segmentation extends HPE Aruba Networking's foundational wireless role-based policy capability to HPE Aruba Networking wired switches. What this means is that the same security, user experience and simplified IT management can be enjoyed throughout the network. Regardless of how users and IoT devices connect, consistent policies are enforced across wired and wireless networks, keeping traffic secure and separate.
Product differentiators AOS-CX-a modern software system
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks.
A built-in time series database enables customers and developers to utilize software scripts for historical troubleshooting, as well as analysis of past trends.
This helps predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security, and performance bottlenecks. Easy access to all network state information allows unique visibility and analytics.
Our AOS-CX software also includes HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE) and support for HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software. Because AOS-CX is built on a modular Linux architecture with a state ful database, our operating system provides the following unique capabilities
Easy access to all network state information allows unique visibility and analytics.
REST APIs and Python scripting for fine-grained programmability of network tasks.
A micro-services architecture that enables full integration with other workflow systems and services.
Continuous telemetry data with WebSocket subscriptions for event driven automation
Continual state synchronization that provides superior fault tolerance and high availabilityAll software processes communicate with the database rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and resiliency and allowing individual software modules to be independently upgraded for higher availability
