User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The Aruba CX 6200F switch has a 370W PoE budget distributed across its 48 ports. It can power multiple IEEE 802.3bt (Class 4) devices, such as high-power access points or pan-tilt-zoom cameras, up to the total budget. The exact number depends on each device's power draw, but the switch automatically allocates power per port and prioritizes connected devices.
What types of SFP modules are compatible with the uplink ports?
The four SFP+ ports support both 1G and 10G transceivers, including 1000BASE-SX/LX for Gigabit fiber and 10GBASE-SR/LR for 10 Gigabit fiber. They also work with 10GBASE-T copper modules for twisted-pair connections up to 100 meters. The slots are hot-swappable, allowing module changes without powering down the switch.
Does this switch support VLANs and inter-VLAN routing?
Yes, as a Layer 3 managed switch, it supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for network segmentation and inter-VLAN routing to enable communication between different VLANs without an external router. This enhances security and traffic management in segmented network environments.
What is the power consumption of this switch under normal operation?
The switch consumes approximately 60W of power under typical operating conditions. This includes the power for switching functions and any PoE load up to the 370W budget. The built-in power supply accepts 120V or 230V AC input, making it suitable for use in North America and international markets.
