HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200F 24G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 370W Switch (JL725A)

1. Product Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200F Switch (JL725A) is a next-generation, stackable access switch designed for enterprise branch offices, campuses, and SMB networks. This advanced network switch combines a cloud-centric design with a fully programmable OS and the CX Network Analytics Engine, delivering industry-leading deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities at the access layer. With a powerful Gen7 ASIC architecture, it ensures fast, non-blocking performance to meet unpredictable network demands.

Key Selling Points:

• Enterprise-class connectivity with support for ACLs, robust QoS, and static/OSPF routing.
• Scalable up to 384 ports with 8-member VSF stacking via the CX Mobile app.
• Up to 370W PoE power supporting IEEE 802.3af/at standards for IoT devices and wireless APs.
• Built-in analytics and automation with the CX Network Analytics Engine and Python/REST APIs.
• Dynamic Segmentation for secure user and IoT access across wired and wireless networks.

2. Characteristics

• 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T Class 4 PoE ports (up to 30W per port).
• 4x 1/10G SFP+ uplink ports.
• 1x USB-C console port, 1x OOBM port, 1x USB Type-A host port.
• Bluetooth adapter for CX Mobile app deployment.
• Fixed 500W power supply with up to 370W PoE output.
• Quad Core ARM Cortex A72 CPU @ 1.8 GHz, 8 GB DDR4, 16 GB eMMC.
• Low latency: 2.28 µSec (1 Gbps), 1.46 µSec (10 Gbps).

3. Technology

The CX 6200F Switch leverages Gen7 for low-latency, high-performance switching and routing. It supports HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) for scalable stacking, Dynamic Segmentation for policy enforcement, and MACSec 256 for encryption. The switch also features HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting.

4. Working Principle

The switch operates as a Layer 3 access device, using a fully distributed architecture to process data at wire speed. The Gen7 ASIC handles packet forwarding with minimal latency, while the CX NAE continuously analyzes network events. VSF stacking allows multiple switches to function as a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing port density.

5. Application & Usage

Ideal for enterprise edge, SMB, and branch office networks, the CX 6200F supports bandwidth-intensive applications, IoT deployments (e.g., security cameras, wireless APs), and software-defined networking (SDN) environments. It is commonly used in campuses, healthcare facilities, and retail networks where reliable PoE and high-speed connectivity are critical.
