The CX 6200 switch series includes fixed (CX 6200F) and modular (CX 6200M) switches with built-in high-speed uplinks. Fixed switches support up to 30W of PoE per port. Flexible, modular switches offer hotswappable power supplies and fans for enhanced resiliency and redundancy, and up to 60W of PoE per port to power the latest IoT devices, security cameras, and wireless APs. Aruba Dynamic Segmentation extends Aruba’s foundational wireless role-based policy capability to Aruba wired switches. What this means is that the same security, user experience and simplified IT management can be enjoyed throughout the network. Regardless of how users and IoT devices connect, consistent policies are enforced across wired and wireless networks, keeping traffic secure and separate.
Aruba Central – unified single pane of glass management
Aruba Central is an AI-powered solution that simplifies IT operations, improves agility, and reduces costs by unifying management of all network infrastructure. Built for enterprise-grade resiliency and security, while simple enough for smaller businesses with limited IT staff, Aruba Central is your single point of visibility and control that spans the entire network—from branch to data center, wired and wireless LAN to WAN. Available as a cloud-based or on-premises solution, Aruba Central is designed to simplify day zero through day two operations with streamlined workflows for tasks such as virtual switch stack creation, automated monitoring using AI-powered insights and NAE, as well as a unified view of all devices and users, both wired and wireless. Comprehensive switch management capabilities include configuration, onboarding, monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting.
Aruba Network Analytics Engine – advanced monitoring and diagnostics
For enhanced visibility and troubleshooting, Aruba’s Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically monitors and analyzes events that can impact network health. Advanced telemetry and automation provide the ability to easily identify and troubleshoot network, system, application and security related issues easily, through the use of Python agents, CLIbased agents, and REST APIs.The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state historical data making it available to quickly resolve network issues. The data may also be used to analyze trends, identify requirements. Aruba Central uses NAE and agents to deliver switch monitoring, analytics, and enhanced troubleshooting for wired assurance. Aruba NetEdit and third-party tools such as ServiceNow and Slack provide the intelligence to integrate NAE alerts into IT service management processes, speeding problem resolution.
