Aruba (HPE) Aruba CX 6200F Switch

★ 3.3 Value Score

Switching Capacity: 128 Gbps (24G 4SFP+ models, JL724A/JL725A); 176 Gbps listed for 48G models (not verified against the HPE datasheet)
Forwarding Rate: 95.2 Mpps (24G 4SFP+ models); approx. 130.9 Mpps for 48G models (not verified against the HPE datasheet)
Ports: 24G models: 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 + 4x 1/10G SFP/SFP+ uplinks; 48G models: 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 + 4x 1/10G SFP/SFP+ uplinks
PoE Budget: JL725A (24G PoE): 370 W Class 4 PoE (30 W per port); JL727A (48G PoE): 370 W; JL728A (48G PoE): 740 W. Non-PoE models (JL724A, JL726A): N/A
Layer: L3 (fixed-port managed; static routing and basic L3 features)
Stacking support: Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) on the 6200 series; confirm VSF support and member count for the 6200F SKU in the HPE datasheet

✔ Pros: Low entry price compared with most L3 managed switches; 4x 1/10G SFP+ uplinks for 10G backbone connectivity; L3 managed features at the access layer; PoE variants with 370 W or 740 W budgets (IEEE 802.3af/at) for APs and cameras; 128 Gbps switching capacity on the 24-port model; part of the HPE Aruba CX platform with AOS-CX management; suitable for SMB and branch deployments
✘ Cons: Non-PoE base models have no power delivery for APs or phones; uplinks are limited to 4x SFP+ with no 25G or 40G options; L3 feature set is lighter than the 6300M or 6400 series; resale price listings vary widely and some list prices are unreliable; datasheet power supply ratings conflict between sources, so the PSU spec needs checking per SKU; product pages are dated, so current part numbers and specs should be confirmed with HPE
Est. Price: $973 - $2,446
