The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch Series is a modern family of entry-level access switches ideal for branch offices, mid-market enterprises, and SMB networks. Designed for reliable, simple, and secure access, this switch family provides a convenient wired access solution for enterprise networks supporting Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, and cloud applications.

The JL677A model features 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports and 4 x 1/10G SFP+ uplink ports with a 370W PoE budget -1. The switch features side-to-side airflow for optimal cooling in standard rack-mountable deployments. Prepare your network for future demands with a powerful ASIC and the programmable HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) to deliver a more consistent, more efficient operator experience.

With robust Quality of Service (QoS), support for static routing, and IPv6, these switches also simplify ownership with no switch software licensing requirements. The switch series delivers a simple, consistent operator experience with the HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) used across HPE Aruba Networking CX switching platforms -1. The JL677A is designed with a dedicated ASIC that delivers very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption needed for AI, Wi-Fi 7, and Internet of Things (IoT) requirements.

The JL677A delivers 24 PoE+ ports with a 370W total power budget, supporting IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE with up to 30W per port -1. This enables direct powering of wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT devices without requiring separate power injectors.

Four SFP+ ports support both 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit speeds, providing flexible uplink connectivity to distribution switches or core networks -1. The high-speed uplinks ensure no bandwidth bottlenecks for aggregated access layer traffic.

Built on the programmable AOS-CX operating system used across the entire Aruba CX portfolio, this switch delivers a consistent operator experience with advanced monitoring and automation capabilities -1. The modern operating system provides REST APIs for fine-grained programmability.

The CX 6100 series simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required. All software features, including static routing, ACLs, QoS, and sFlow, are included with the hardware purchase.

Layer 3 Lite capabilities include static routing, enabling basic network segmentation and reducing dependency on upstream routers for local traffic handling. This improves network efficiency by offloading internal traffic-handling tasks from the router.

Support for up to eight switches in a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack creates a single logical switch with simplified management -1-8. Stacking provides simplified configuration and management as the switches act as a single chassis when stacked.

Robust security features include ACLs for traffic filtering, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP inspection, and support for secure management protocols (SSH, HTTPS). These features protect against network attacks and unauthorized access.

The switch incorporates energy-efficient features including support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and adaptive power consumption based on link utilization. This reduces operational costs and environmental impact.

Ideal for branch offices requiring PoE for IP phones and wireless access points. The 24-port configuration provides sufficient density for small to medium branch locations, while 10G uplinks ensure high-speed connectivity to the corporate WAN edge router.

Perfect for small to medium businesses needing enterprise-grade switching without complex licensing. The switch offers advanced features at an accessible price point, making it ideal for organizations with limited IT resources.

With 370W PoE budget, the switch is well-suited for powering and connecting IoT devices such as security cameras, environmental sensors, and access control systems -1. The robust PoE budget supports multiple high-power devices simultaneously.

Can be deployed in campus access layer configurations with VSF stacking for scalable, resilient network architectures across multiple wiring closets -8. Stacking enables single-IP management for all stack members.

Supports retail operations with PoE for digital signage, security cameras, and wireless access points, while providing reliable connectivity for POS systems.

Perfect for K-12 schools and university classrooms requiring PoE for wireless access points and reliable wired connectivity for student devices. The switch's energy-efficient design reduces operational costs for educational institutions.
