FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power?
The switch provides a total PoE budget of 370 watts across its 48 ports. The exact number of devices depends on their individual power requirements. For example, it could support around 24 standard IP phones (each using ~7W) or a mix of phones, wireless access points, and cameras. The switch automatically negotiates power delivery per port based on IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
What types of uplink connections are supported?
Four shared SFP+ slots support 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit connections using SFP or SFP+ transceivers. This allows for fiber optic (e.g., 10GBase-X) or copper (e.g., 10GBase-T) uplinks to core switches, servers, or network backbones. The slots are compatible with a wide range of industry-standard transceivers for flexible connectivity options.
Is this switch stackable?
Yes, the switch includes a dedicated stack port, allowing multiple Aruba CX 6200 switches to be connected and managed as a single logical unit. Stacking simplifies network administration, improves redundancy, and enables scalable expansion without complex configuration changes. It supports both front-end and back-end stacking depending on your cabling setup.
What management features does this switch offer?
As a fully manageable switch, it supports CLI, web-based GUI, and SNMP for configuration and monitoring. Management interfaces include a USB-C console port, an RJ-45 console port, an out-of-band management port, and a USB Type-A host port. Features include VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, and security protocols to optimize network performance and control.
What are the power requirements and efficiency?
The switch operates on 120-230V AC input and consumes 76 watts under typical load. It includes a single hot-swappable power supply with support for redundant power supplies (sold separately) to enhance reliability. The 76W power consumption reflects an energy-efficient design, reducing operational costs in always-on environments.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting in standard 19-inch server cabinets. Its dimensions (1.73" H x 17.40" W x 12.90" D) ensure compatibility with most rack systems.
