Technology

The Aruba CX 6100 Switch series utilizes the HPE Aruba Networking CX Operating System (AOS-CX), which supports REST APIs for programmability and automation. It incorporates a dedicated ASIC for low latency, adaptive power consumption, and increased packet buffering. Key technologies include:

• IEEE 802.3at PoE+
• sFlow for traffic monitoring
• IPv6 support
• Static routing and ACLs
• Robust QoS and traffic prioritization

Working Principle

The Switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, forwarding data packets between connected devices based on MAC addresses. It uses store-and-forward switching to ensure data integrity. The integrated ASIC optimizes packet processing, reducing latency and improving efficiency. PoE capabilities allow the switch to deliver power to connected devices such as APs and IP cameras over Ethernet cables.
