Product Differentiators
AOS-CX - A modern software system
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system that is built
on a modular Linux architecture. This operating system provides the following unique capabilities:
• Easy access to all network configuration state information
• REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks
• A micro-services architecture that enables full integration with other workflow systems and services
• All software processes communicate with the database rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and resiliency

HPE Aruba Networking ASICs - Programmable innovation

Based on over 30 years of continuous investment, HPE Aruba Networking’s ASICs create the basis for innovative and agile
software feature advancements, unparalleled performance, and deep visibility. These programmable ASICs are purpose-built to
allow for a tighter integration of switch hardware and software within campus and data center architectures to optimize
performance and capacity. The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch Series is based on the HPE Aruba Networking ASIC
architecture.

HPE Aruba Networking Central - Unified single pane of glass management

Flexible cloud-based or on-premises management for unified network operations of wired, WLAN, SD-WAN, and public cloud
infrastructure. Designed to simplify day zero through day two operations with streamlined workflows. Switch management
capabilities include configuration, onboarding, monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting.

HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit – Automated switch configuration and management

The entire HPE Aruba Networking CX portfolio empowers IT teams to orchestrate multiple switch configuration changes for
smooth end-to-end service rollouts. HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide
changes and ensures policy conformance post network updates. Intelligent capabilities include search, edit, validation (including
conformance checking), deployment and audit features. Capabilities include:
• Centralized configuration with validation for consistency and compliance
• Time savings via simultaneous viewing and editing of multiple configurations
• Customized validation tests for corporate compliance and network design
• Automated large-scale configuration deployment without programming
Notes: A separate software license is required to use HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit.

Mobility and IoT performance

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch Series uses internally developed HPE Aruba Networking ASICs that provide very low
latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. Each switch includes the following:
• Up to 176 Gbps in non-blocking bandwidth and up to 98.6 Mpps for forwarding
• Selectable queue configurations that allow for increased performance by defining a number of queues and associated
memory buffering to best meet the requirements of network applications

Simplify adds, moves and changes

Reduce manual IT operation tasks around initial deployment or on-going configuration changes to accommodate adds, moves and
changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local-MAC-Authentication (LMA). Instead of statically pre-configuring
access ports to VLANs and maintaining the switch port to VLAN mapping, colorless ports can automatically apply the role/policy
required.

Enterprise-class access connectivity

To address branch office and small enterprise environments, the HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 Switch series family includes five
fixed 1U models. Each switch includes built-in high speed uplinks that automatically detect the use of 1G or 10G transceivers to
deliver non-blocking performance. Additional highlights:
• 1U models support 24 and 48 access ports of IEEE 802.3 1GbE with four built-in 1GbE/10GbE uplink SFP+ ports. The 24
port PoE models support up to 370W and the and 48 pot PoE models support up to 740W IEEE 802.3at Class 4 Power
over Ethernet for up to 30W per port
• Compact and fanless model supports 12 ports of IEEE 802.3 1GbE with four uplinks (two built-in 1GbE/10GbE uplink
