ADVANCED FEATURES:

Layer 2 Switching and VLANs:

The Aruba CX6100 Series delivers extensive Layer 2 capabilities, supporting 802.1Q VLANs, STP, RSTP, and MSTP for loop prevention. Link Aggregation (LACP) ensures uplink redundancy, while Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes voice, video, and mission-critical traffic. IGMP Snooping efficiently manages multicast traffic, optimizing bandwidth for applications such as IP surveillance, conferencing, and streaming.

Security and Access Control:

Network security is reinforced through 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Additional safeguards include DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and MACsec-ready ports for Layer 2 encryption. RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication ensure that only authorized devices and users gain access, providing a secure and controlled network environment.

Management and Automation:

The CX6100 Series offers flexible management options through web GUI, CLI, SNMP, and Aruba Central cloud management. Automation is supported via REST APIs, Python scripting, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), simplifying deployment and ongoing operations. Real-time telemetry and logging provide actionable insights into network performance, enabling proactive troubleshooting and predictive monitoring.

Energy Efficiency and Power Optimization:

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces power consumption during periods of low activity without impacting performance. Fanless or low-noise cooling designs ensure quiet operation and minimal energy usage, supporting sustainable operation in both office and small data center environments.

High Availability and Reliability:

Robust hardware design with fixed AC power, redundant uplinks via LACP, and rapid spanning tree convergence ensures minimal downtime. These features make the CX6100 Series ideal for branch offices and small enterprise networks requiring consistent uptime and reliability.

Scalability and Future-Ready Design:

With support for up to 256 MAC addresses, multiple VLANs, and flexible uplink configurations, the CX6100 Series grows with network demands. Fully compatible with Aruba’s enterprise network architecture, these switches provide a future-proof solution for evolving access layer requirements.
