The HPE JL679A is an entry-level, fanless Layer 2 managed access switch designed for enterprise branch offices, mid-market enterprises, and SMB networks. Part of the Aruba CX 6100 Series, it delivers 68Gbps switching capacity with 45.1 Mpps throughput and ultra-low latency (2.3 μSec at 1Gbps, 2.6 μSec at 10Gbps). The switch features 12x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at standards with up to 139W Class 4 PoE power budget, plus 2x 1G/10G SFP uplink ports and 2x additional Gigabit uplink ports for flexible network connectivity. With a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor (4.4 x 25.4 x 25.5 cm, 2.8 kg) and fanless operation, it suits space-constrained deployments. The switch includes dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor (1016 MHz), 4GB DDR3 memory, and 16GB eMMC storage. Management options include Aruba Central cloud-based platform, web GUI, and CLI. Layer 2 feature set includes VLAN support (4,096 VLANs), LACP link aggregation, Spanning Tree protocols (STP/RSTP/MSTP), and static routing. Security features encompass IEEE 802.1X network access control, MAC authentication, ACLs, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, and dynamic ARP inspection. QoS capabilities include 8 hardware-based queues per port with per-port, per-VLAN, and per-queue rate limiting. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C with input voltage 100-127 VAC / 200-240 VAC. Maximum power consumption without PoE is 21.9W; with PoE enabled, 170W maximum. The switch is RoHS compliant and carries UL/CSA 60950-1 and CE Mark certifications.
