Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the Aruba CX 6200 series platform, this switch delivers wire-speed switching across all ports. The 24 copper ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps, supporting twisted-pair cabling, while the four SFP+ slots accommodate optical fiber modules for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections, enabling longer-distance runs and high-bandwidth links to servers or core switches.
Layer 3 routing capabilities allow the switch to perform inter-VLAN routing and basic IP routing functions, reducing reliance on external routers for internal network segmentation. This enhances network design flexibility and can improve performance for traffic between different subnets. The switch also supports advanced features like Quality of Service (QoS), access control lists (ACLs), and monitoring protocols for comprehensive network management.

FAQ
How many ports does this Aruba switch have, and what types are they?
The Aruba 6200M 24G 4SFP+ Switch has 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000Base-T) for connecting devices like computers and printers, plus four SFP+ expansion slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections using fiber or direct-attach copper cables. This provides a total of 28 physical ports for network connectivity.
What does Layer 3 support mean for this switch?
Layer 3 support means this switch can perform basic IP routing functions, such as inter-VLAN routing, without requiring a separate router. This allows traffic between different VLANs or subnets to be routed directly by the switch, which can improve network performance, reduce latency, and simplify network design in medium to large deployments.
Can I use fiber optic connections with this switch?
Yes, this switch supports fiber optic connections through its four SFP+ slots. You can install compatible SFP+ transceiver modules to connect via 10GBase-X fiber optic cabling. This enables longer-distance links (up to kilometers depending on the module) and high-bandwidth connections to other switches or servers, making it suitable for backbone or uplink scenarios.
Is this switch manageable, and what management options are available?
Yes, this is a fully manageable switch. It supports multiple management interfaces including a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) for easy configuration, a command-line interface (CLI) for advanced control, and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for monitoring and integration with network management systems. This allows administrators to configure VLANs, security policies, QoS, and monitor performance.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?
The switch measures 1.73 inches (44 mm) in height, 17.40 inches (442 mm) in width, and 15.16 inches (385 mm) in depth, and it weighs approximately 12.32 pounds (5.59 kg). It is designed for 1U rack-mounting in standard 19-inch racks, but also supports surface mount and cabinet mount installations, providing flexibility for various deployment environments like data centers, wiring closets, or offices.
What power requirements does this switch have?
The switch operates on 120 V AC or 230 V AC input voltage, with a power consumption of 56 watts.
