What management and routing capabilities are supported?

Layer 3 features include static and dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF), VRRP redundancy, ACL security, and QoS prioritization. Stackable via VSF up to 4 units with single IP management, plus cloud-based Aruba Central integration for zero-touch provisioning.

What is the processor and memory specification?

Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor running at 1016 MHz, paired with 1GB DDR3 SDRAM, 4GB eMMC storage, and 12.38MB packet buffer (4.5MB ingress/7.875MB egress) ensures wire-speed forwarding and handling of bursty traffic patterns.

Is this switch suitable for Wi-Fi 6 access points?

Yes, multigigabit ports match Wi-Fi 6/6E AP bandwidth needs (2.5/5G), with PoE++ Class 6 powering high-performance APs like Aruba 630/635 series without additional injectors or cabling upgrades.
