HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200M 48G 4SFP+ Switch (R8Q69A)

Product Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200M Switch (Model: R8Q69A) is a high-performance, enterprise-class networking switch designed for modern business infrastructure. This advanced Switch offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP+ slots, providing flexible connectivity and scalability. As part of the renowned Aruba 300 SERIES, it delivers robust security, seamless automation, and reliable performance for demanding network environments. Ideal for businesses seeking to enhance their network edge, this Switch supports IoT integration, dynamic segmentation, and simplified management through cloud-based tools.

Key Features

• 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 x 1G/10G SFP+ ports
• Up to 8-unit VSF stacking for scalable network expansion
• Advanced Layer 3 routing with ACL, QoS, and OSPF support
• HPE Aruba CX Network Analytics Engine for real-time monitoring
• PoE support up to 60W per port for IoT and wireless AP deployments

Core Technology

The CX 6200M Switch leverages Gen7 ASIC architecture for low-latency, high-throughput performance. It supports VXLAN for efficient switch-to-switch tunneling and uses Dynamic Segmentation to enforce consistent security policies across wired and wireless networks. The Aruba CX Mobile App and REST APIs enable programmable automation and streamlined operations.

How It Works

The switch operates as a centralized access layer device, routing traffic between connected devices and uplink connections. It uses VSF (Virtual Stacking Framework) to combine multiple physical switches into a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing port density. The built-in Network Analytics Engine continuously monitors network health, triggering automated responses to potential issues.
