What is the switching capacity and latency of the HPE Aruba CX 6200M R8Q67A?

The switch provides 128 Gbps routing/switching capacity and up to 95.2 Mpps throughput. Latency measures 2.28 μs at 1 Gbps and 1.46 μs at 10 Gbps, enabled by Aruba Gen7 ASICs in a fully distributed architecture for wire-speed performance in bandwidth-intensive environments.

How does VSF stacking work on this model?

Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) allows up to 8 members to stack using built-in SFP+ ports, creating a single logical switch with up to 384 ports. Supports long-range transceivers for flexible topologies, simplifying management while maintaining high-performance front-plane stacking.

What security features does the CX 6200M 24G 4SFP+ offer?

Includes MACSec 256 encryption on 2x SFP+ ports, Aruba Dynamic Segmentation for automated policy enforcement, ACLs, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall capabilities. VXLAN tunnels provide low-latency switch-to-switch connectivity for secure segmentation.

Is this switch suitable for data center top-of-rack use?

Yes, with 24x 1GBASE-T access ports, 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks, front-to-side-to-back airflow, and hot-swappable PSUs. Low latency, high buffering, and NAE analytics optimize for server connectivity and real-time troubleshooting in dense ToR deployments.

What management and automation capabilities are available?

Features Aruba NetEdit for configuration automation, validation, and auditing; NAE with Python agents and REST APIs for telemetry; TSDB for historical data. Supports zero-touch provisioning and policy conformance across the network.

What power and environmental specs does it have?

Requires 1 minimum hot-swappable PSU (JL085A supported, ordered separately), 75W consumption at 230 VAC, input 100-240V. Dimensions 4.39 x 44.25 x 38.38 cm, weight 6.01 kg, rack-mountable 1U with resilient fans and modular design.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200M 24G 4SFP+ Switch (R8Q67A#ABA) is a high-performance, L3 managed stackable switch designed for enterprise campus and data center edge deployments. It features 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports for access connectivity and 4x dual-rate 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks (2x Long Reach Modules, 2x LRM with MACSec 256 encryption) for flexible aggregation. Powered by Aruba Gen7 ASICs and a Quad Core ARM Cortex A72 processor at 1.8 GHz, it delivers 128 Gbps switching/routing capacity and up to 95.2 Mpps forwarding performance with sub-2 μs latency. Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) enables up to 8-member stacking over front-plane SFP+ ports for simplified management and scalability up to 384 ports. Built-in analytics via Network Analytics Engine (NAE) and support for Aruba NetEdit provide real-time monitoring, automation, and troubleshooting. Dynamic Segmentation enforces user/device policies automatically. Modular design includes hot-swappable power supplies (supports JL085A PSU), front-to-side-to-back airflow, and resilient features like ACLs, robust QoS, OSPF routing, and PoE readiness. Ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications requiring wire-speed performance, security, and operational efficiency.
