Switch gestionado Aruba 6200M L3 Gigabit Ethernet 48 puertos PoE

The Managed Switch Aruba 6200M L3 Gigabit Ethernet 48 Ports PoE is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise environments that require high-density Gigabit connectivity with Power over Ethernet. The switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45 ports with PoE support compliant with IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3af standards, and includes 10G uplink capability to integrate with aggregation and core layers. With a switching capacity of 176 Gbit/s and a MAC address table accommodating up to 32,000 entries, the unit is suited to handle access-layer traffic and basic routing tasks within campus and branch networks.

Advantages

The Aruba 6200M offers managed Layer 3 functionality in a compact footprint, combining high port density and Power over Ethernet for connecting and powering end devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras. Its 10G uplink support enables efficient aggregation to distribution or core switches, while the sizeable switching capacity supports simultaneous forwarding on all ports. Compliance with IEEE PoE standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of powered devices.

Suitable for

• Enterprise access layer for offices and campus buildings
• Powering and connecting IP phones, wireless APs, and surveillance cameras
• Small to medium branch offices requiring Layer 3 features and PoE
• Aggregation with 10G uplinks to distribution or core switches

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack and connect the power source according to the site electrical plan. Connect access devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports and use the 10G uplink ports to connect to the distribution or core network. Access the management interface via the console port, web GUI, or supported network management platform to configure VLANs, L3 routing, QoS, PoE settings, and port security. Monitor the PoE budget and device power draw through the management tools to ensure stable operation of powered devices.

Recommendations

Reserve uplink bandwidth for aggregate traffic and configure VLANs to segment voice, wireless, and surveillance traffic. Verify PoE budget when populating many powered devices and enable power management features if available to prioritize critical endpoints. Keep firmware current and follow standard network security practices such as strong management passwords, role-based access, and SNMP/vulnerabilities hardening.
