Description

The Aruba CX 6200M is a modular, stackable Layer 3 access switch running AOS-CX, built for enterprise campus and branch access closets and SMB networks that need PoE for IP phones, cameras, wireless access points and IoT devices. This model pairs 24 gigabit ports with four 10G uplinks on the Aruba Gen7 ASIC.

The R8Q68A provides 24 10/100/1000BASE-T Class 4 PoE ports delivering up to 30W per port (802.3af and 802.3at) from a 740W maximum PoE budget, plus 4 SFP/SFP+ uplink ports supporting 1G or 10G. Switching capacity is 128 Gbps with up to 95.2 Mpps throughput. VSF stacking joins up to 8 members, giving up to 384 ports under a single management plane.

Power is modular. The chassis has two hot-swappable PSU slots and takes the JL086A or JL087A power supply, with at least one required. The fan tray is also hot-swappable. The AOS-CX standard feature set is included with no software licence needed to operate the switch. It stacks with other 24 and 48-port 6200F and 6200M switches.
