PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Aruba CX 6100 Switch Series is modern family of entry

level access switches ideal for enterprise branch oces and

SMB networks. Optimized for reliable, simple and secure

access, the CX 6100 switches provide a convenient wired

access solution for networks supporting IoT, mobile and

cloud applications.

The CX 6100 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 ecient operator experience. This fully managed layer

2 switch series has convenient built-in high speed uplinks

with up to 370W of PoE to support IoT devices such as

security cameras and wireless APs, and includes a compact

and fanless model ideal for use in quiet work spaces.

The CX 6100 supports management choices that include Web

GUI, CLI, cloud-based and on-premise Aruba Central, so you

can choose the best t for your needs today with exibility to

change without replacing hardware. With enhanced access

security, trac prioritization, and IPv6 support, the CX 6100

also simplies ownership and brings peace of mind with no

switch software licensing and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATORS

AOS-CX - a modern software system

The Aruba CX 6100 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a

modern, database-driven operating system that is built on a

modular Linux architecture. This operating system provides

the following unique capabilities:

• Easy access to all network conguration state

information

• REST APIs for ne-grained programmability of network

tasks

• A micro-services architecture that enables full integration

with other workow systems and services

ARUBA CX 6100 SWITCH

SERIES

• All software processes communicate with the database

rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and

resiliency

Aruba ASICs - programmable innovation

Based on over 30 years of continuous investment, Aruba’s

ASICs create the basis for innovative and agile software

feature advancements, unparalleled performance and deep

visibility. These programmable ASICs are purpose-built

to allow for a tighter integration of switch hardware and

software within campus and data center architectures to

optimize performance and capacity. The Aruba CX 6100 is

based on the Aruba ASIC architecture.

KEY FEATURES

ACLs, robust QoS and static routing

• Convenient built-in 1/10GbE uplinks and up to 370W

of Class 4 PoE for support of IoT devices

• Compact and fanless 12 port model for quiet

deployment

• Management exibility with support for Aruba

Central, easy-to-use Web GUI, CLI, and Aruba NetEdit

ARUBA CX 6100 SWITCH SERIES

Aruba Central - unied single pane of glass management

Flexible cloud-based or on-premises management for unied

network operations of wired, WLAN, SD-WAN, and public

cloud infrastructure. Designed to simplify day zero through

day two operations with streamlined workows. Switch

management capabilities include conguration, onboarding,

monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting.

Aruba NetEdit – automated switch conguration and

management

The entire Aruba CX portfolio empowers IT teams to

orchestrate multiple switch conguration changes for

smooth end-to-end service rollouts. Aruba NetEdit

introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide

changes, and ensures policy conformance post network

updates. Intelligent capabilities include search, edit,

validation (including conformance checking), deployment and

audit features. Capabilities include:

• Centralized conguration with validation for consistency

and compliance

• Time savings via simultaneous viewing and editing of

multiple congurations

• Customized validation tests for corporate compliance

and network design

• Automated large-scale conguration deployment without

programming

Note: A separate software license is required to use Aruba

NetEdit.

Mobility and IoT performance

The Aruba CX 6100 Switch Series uses internally developed

Aruba ASICs that provide very low latency, increased packet

buering, and adaptive power consumption. Each switch

includes the following:

• Up to 176 Gbps in non-blocking bandwidth and up to

98.6 Mpps for forwarding

• Selectable queue congurations that allow for

increased performance by dening a number of queues

and associated memory buering to best meet the

requirements of network applications

Simplify adds, moves and changes

Reduce manual IT operation tasks around initial deployment

or on-going conguration changes to accommodate

adds, moves and changes with colorless ports using local

user roles and local-MAC-Authentication (LMA). Instead

of statically pre-conguring access ports to VLANs and

maintaining the switch port to VLAN mapping, colorless ports

can automatically apply the role/policy required.

Enterprise-class access connectivity

To address branch oce and small enterprise environments,

the CX 6100 family includes ve xed 1U models. Each switch

includes built-in high speed uplinks that automatically detect

the use of 1G or 10G transceivers to deliver non-blocking

performance. Additional highlights:

• 1U models support 24 and 48 access ports of IEEE 802.3

1GbE with four built-in 1GbE/10GbE uplink SFP+ ports.

The 24 and 48 port PoE models support up to 370W

IEEE802.3at Class 4 Power over Ethernet for up to 30W

per port

• Compact and fanless model supports 12 ports of IEEE

802.3 1GbE with four uplinks (two built-in 1GbE/10GbE

uplink SFP/SFP+ ports, two built-in 1GbE ports), and

139W IEEE 802.3at Class 4 Power over Ethernet for up to

30W per port

reduces power consumption during periods of low

network trac

• Support for pre-standard PoE detects and provides

power to pre-standard PoE devices

through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports

• Unsupported Transceiver Mode (UTM) allows to insert

and enable all unsupported 1G and 10G transceivers and

cables. Note that there is no warranty nor support for

the transceiver/cable when this feature is used

• Jumbo frames allow for high-performance backups and

disaster-recovery systems; provides a maximum frame

size of 9198 bytes

• Packet storm protection against broadcast, multicast and

unknown unicast storms with user-dened thresholds

platform module (TPM) for platform integrity. This ensures

the boot process started from a trusted combination of AOS-

CX switches. Other security features include:

• Access control list (ACL) support for both IPv4 and IPv6;

allows for ltering trac to prevent unauthorized users

from accessing the network, or for controlling network

trac to save resources; rules can either deny or permit

trac to be forwarded; rules can be based on a Layer 2

header or a Layer 3 protocol header

• ACLs also provide ltering based on the IP eld, source/

destination IP address/subnet, and source/ destination
