HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 24G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 370W Switch (JL677A)

1. Product Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 24G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 370W Switch (model JL677A) is an advanced Layer 2 access switch designed for modern enterprise networks. This switch delivers high-performance gigabit connectivity with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, making it ideal for powering IoT devices, wireless access points, and other network equipment. Part of the versatile Aruba CX 6100 series, this model offers 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4x 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, ensuring flexible and scalable network deployment. With a robust 370W PoE budget, it supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards, enabling seamless integration of PoE devices without external power sources.

2. Key Characteristics

• 24x Gigabit Ethernet ports with 4x 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks
• 370W Class 4 PoE/PoE+ support (IEEE 802.3af/at)
• Dual Core ARM Cortex A9 processor @ 1016 MHz
• 4 GB DDR3 memory and 16 GB eMMC storage
• Low latency: 1.5 μSec (1 Gbps), 1.8 μSec (10 Gbps)
• 95.2 Mpps throughput and 128 Gbps switching capacity
• Fanless design for silent operation in office environments
• USB-C console port and USB Type-A host port

3. Technology

The Aruba CX 6100 switch leverages the HPE Aruba Networking CX Operating System (AOS-CX), providing a consistent and programmable network experience. It supports REST APIs for software-defined networking (SDN), static routing, ACLs, QoS, sFlow, and IPv6. The switch uses a dedicated ASIC for low latency and adaptive power consumption, ensuring efficient performance even under high load.

4. Working Principle

The switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, facilitating communication between devices within the same network segment. It uses MAC address learning and forwarding to manage traffic efficiently. The integrated PoE controller dynamically allocates power up to 30W per port, ensuring compatible devices receive adequate power without manual configuration.

5. Application & Usage

This switch is ideal for:

• Enterprise branch offices and SMB networks
• Deploying wireless APs and IoT devices (e.g., security cameras, IP phones)
• Quiet environments such as libraries, classrooms, and offices due to its fanless design
• Cloud and mobile application support
