Switch managed HP Enterprise Aruba 6200F 48G PoE 370W 4SFP+

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200 Series is a family of stackable managed access switches designed for enterprise branch offices, campuses and SMB networks. The portfolio includes fixed (CX 6200F) and modular (CX 6200M) models with built‑in high‑speed uplinks, support for Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking of up to eight members, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power devices such as wireless access points and security cameras. The Aruba 6200F model is a Layer 3 managed switch offering 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 370W PoE budget and four SFP+ slots, with a MAC address table of 32,768 entries and a switching capacity of 176 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The series provides a cloud‑centric, fully programmable operating system with integrated analytics via the Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) and a Time Series Database (TSDB) for monitoring and rapid troubleshooting. Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers low latency and wire‑speed switching and routing. VSF stacking and Aruba NetEdit simplify large‑scale configuration and validation, while support for Aruba CX Mobile App enables on‑site setup and import into NetEdit. Modular models offer hot‑swappable redundant power and fan options for improved resiliency.

Suitable for

• Enterprise branch offices and campus access layer deployments
• Small and medium business networks requiring managed L3 switching
• Environments with wireless APs and IoT devices that need PoE (up to 370W on the 6200F, up to 1440W on higher‑PoE models)
• Networks that require stacking or simplified configuration management using NetEdit and VSF

Key specifications

• Model: Aruba 6200F (fixed) — MPN JL727B#ABB
• Ports: 48 x Gigabit Ethernet
• Uplinks: 4 x SFP+
• PoE budget: 370W (Aruba 6200F); some models support up to 1440W
• Switching capacity: 176 Gbit/s
• MAC address table: 32,768 entries
• Stacking: Aruba VSF up to 8 switches
• Architecture: Aruba Gen7 ASIC, wire‑speed switching and routing

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19" rack and connect uplinks and access ports to your network devices. Use the Aruba CX operating system CLI, REST APIs, or Python agents for configuration and automation. For multi‑switch deployments, configure Aruba VSF to form a logical stack of up to eight members using the built‑in SFP+ stacking ports or long‑range transceivers as needed. Use Aruba NetEdit to create, validate and deploy configurations network‑wide and import local switch data from the Aruba CX Mobile App if on‑site commissioning is required.

Recommendations

For deployments requiring significant PoE power for wireless APs and cameras, choose the appropriate 6200 model that meets your total PoE budget and consider modular units with redundant power supplies for higher availability. Use NetEdit and continuous validation to ensure configuration conformance after updates.
