Product Differentiators

AOS-CX - A modern software system

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system built on a modular Linux architecture. Benefits include:

Easy access to all network configuration state information REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks A micro-services architecture enabling full integration with other workflow systems and services All software processes communicate with the database rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and resiliency

HPE Aruba Networking ASICs - Programmable innovation

Based on over 30 years of continuous investment, HPE Aruba Networking's ASICs provide innovative software feature advancements, unparalleled performance, and deep visibility. The CX 6000 Switch Series uses this ASIC architecture for optimized performance and capacity.

Access Layer Performance

Five fixed 1U models supporting 24 or 48 IEEE 802.3 1GbE access ports, with built-in uplink SFP ports PoE models supporting up to 370W (24 port) and 740W (48 port) IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE Compact fanless 12 port model with four uplinks and 139W PoE support Supports Energy Efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az, Auto-MDIX, Jumbo frames, and packet storm protection

Resiliency and Availability

Uni-directional Link Detection (UDLD) to prevent STP loops IEEE 802.3ad LACP with up to 8 LAGs, each with up to 8 links IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and legacy STP support SmartLink link redundancy

Quality of Service (QoS) features

Strict priority queuing Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p) Class of Service (CoS) based on IP address, ToS, protocol, TCP/UDP port, source port, DiffServ Rate limiting with per-port ingress and queue minimums Large buffers for congestion management

Simplified Configuration and Management

Multiple management interfaces supported including Web GUI, CLI, cloud-based HPE Aruba Networking Central, REST API, and NetEdit automation tool.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features

The switch supports extensive Layer 2 VLAN, spanning tree protocols, port mirroring, multicast, and Layer 3 static routing, dual IPv4/IPv6 stack, and multicast protocols.

Security Features

Integrated TPM for platform integrity IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs RADIUS, TACACS+ authentication IEEE 802.1X, MAC-based authentication, and multiple authentication schemes per port Secure management access with SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3 Control Plane Policing, DHCP snooping, ARP protection, port security, MAC pinning, and more

Convergence and PoE

LLDP-MED for automatic device configuration Multiple PoE allocation methods for efficient power management Auto VLAN configuration for voice VLANs

Additional Information

Supports green initiatives such as RoHS and WEEE.
