What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate of the HPE JL676A?

The HPE Aruba CX 6100 JL676A provides 176 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 98.6 Mpps forwarding rate using advanced ASICs. This enables low-latency, wire-speed performance across all 48x 1GbE and 4x 10G SFP+ ports, ideal for high-density access layer deployments with east-west traffic patterns.

What port configuration does the JL676A switch offer?

It features 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 access ports and 4x dual-rate 1G/10G SFP+ uplink ports. Auto-MDIX supports straight-through or crossover cables, with Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reducing power during low traffic.

Does the JL676A support PoE and what standards?

The JL676A is a non-PoE model unlike its JL675A sibling. It focuses on high-port-density Gigabit switching without PoE budget, suitable for environments where power delivery is handled separately via injectors or upstream PoE switches.

What Layer 2 features are available on this switch?

Supports 4094 VLAN IDs, 512 simultaneous VLANs, jumbo frames to 9220 bytes, RPVST+ for per-VLAN spanning trees, and IPv6 capabilities including host mode, static routing, MLD snooping, and ACL/QoS. Robust QoS offers selectable queue configurations for optimized buffering.

What management and security options does it provide?

Includes SNMPv1/v2c/v3, multiple privilege levels with password protection, syslog logging, and management security restricting critical configs. USB-C console and USB-A host ports enable local access, with IPv6 RA guard and ND snooping for enhanced security.

What are the physical dimensions and environmental specs?

Measures 17.4 x 9.74 x 1.73 in (44.25 x 24.73 x 4.40 cm), weighs 6.65 lb (3.02 kg). Operates 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C) up to 5000 ft, rack-mountable 1U with side-to-side airflow and 100-240VAC input at 0.8A max.
