ADVANCE FEATURES:

EVPN-VXLAN for Scalable and Flexible Network Overlays:

The CX 6200F-48G supports EVPN-VXLAN technology, enabling enterprises to create highly scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 overlays across campuses, branch offices, and data center environments. This feature allows seamless multi-tenant segmentation, workload mobility, and consistent policy enforcement without physical reconfiguration. Organizations can extend virtual networks across geographically distributed sites, simplify provisioning, and reduce operational complexity, all while maintaining low latency and high throughput.

Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) for Simplified Management:

VSF support allows multiple CX 6200F switches to operate as a single logical device. This consolidates configuration, monitoring, and software management, reducing administrative overhead. VSF also improves network resiliency with automatic failover, load balancing, and rapid recovery, making it ideal for enterprises with high availability requirements or large-scale deployments.

Flexible Uplink and High-Bandwidth Connectivity:

The switch offers 4 × 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, compatible with fiber and DAC connections, providing high-speed aggregation to core or distribution layers. These uplinks support bandwidth-intensive applications, including high-definition video, cloud services, and large-scale wireless deployments. The flexibility ensures future-proof network expansion and seamless integration with evolving enterprise infrastructures.

AI-Driven Automation and Predictive Insights:

Integration with Aruba AOS-CX automation and Aruba Central delivers predictive analytics, automated troubleshooting, and proactive performance optimization. Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) accelerates deployment of new switches, while AI-driven insights reduce operational workload, minimize downtime, and ensure consistent policy enforcement across distributed environments. Enterprises can automate repetitive tasks, monitor device health, and gain actionable intelligence for strategic network planning.

Advanced Telemetry and Real-Time Monitoring:

The CX 6200F-48G provides comprehensive telemetry using sFlow, RMON, Syslog, and streaming telemetry, allowing administrators to monitor network traffic, interface utilization, and application performance in real time. Integration with Aruba Central enables centralized dashboards, historical analytics, anomaly detection, and predictive capacity planning. These features empower IT teams to maintain optimal network performance, troubleshoot proactively, and uphold stringent SLAs.

Comprehensive Quality of Service (QoS):

Advanced QoS mechanisms prioritize latency-sensitive traffic, such as voice, video, and mission-critical applications. Multiple queues per port, traffic shaping, congestion control, and hierarchical QoS ensure consistent and reliable application performance, even under high load or network congestion. Enterprises benefit from improved user experience and predictable network behavior.

High Availability and Redundancy:

Designed for mission-critical operations, the switch supports optional redundant power supplies, hot-swappable fans, and VSF-based failover. Features such as link aggregation and Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) further enhance resiliency, ensuring uninterrupted network services during maintenance, hardware failures, or traffic spikes.

Enterprise-Grade Security:

The CX 6200F-48G delivers a multi-layered security framework, including ACLs (IPv4/IPv6), 802.1X authentication, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, and secure management protocols such as SSH, RADIUS, TACACS+, and SNMPv3. These measures safeguard both data-plane traffic and administrative access, ensuring compliance with enterprise security policies and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Cloud-Ready Management and Centralized Control:

Integration with Aruba Central provides centralized network management, AI-driven monitoring, automated policy enforcement, and simplified scaling across multiple sites. IT teams can deploy, configure, and monitor distributed networks from a single interface, leveraging predictive insights, automated alerts, firmware management, and performance optimization. This reduces operational overhead and accelerates enterprise digital transformation initiatives.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:

The switch supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and intelligent power management features, reducing power consumption during periods of low traffic. This contributes to lower operational costs, a reduced environmental footprint, and compliance with green IT initiatives.

Future-Ready Scalability and Flexibility:

With support for multi-tenancy, virtualization, advanced routing, and high-bandwidth uplinks, the CX 6200F-48G is built to meet evolving enterprise requirements. It provides a robust foundation for cloud integration, hybrid IT architectures, IoT deployments, and next-generation applications, ensuring long-term investment protection and network adaptability.

Operational Reliability and Proactive Management:
