The Aruba CX 4100i Switch Series is a modern family of ruggedized Ethernet switches ideal for connecting IoT, access points, and user devices in harsh environments. Created for high performance, reliable, and access with enhanced security, the Aruba CX 4100i switches provide versatile deployment options for enterprise networks extending beyond carpeted areas to challenging outdoor and industrial spaces.Based on the programmable AOS-CX operating system used across the Aruba CX portfolio, this IP30 ruggedized series helps deliver a more consistent, more efficient operator experience. This Layer 2 series has convenient built-in high speed uplinks, supports both 30W and 60W PoE, and is ready for deployment with fan less 12 port DIN mount and 24 port 1U rack mount models. With robust QoS, support for static routing, and IPv6, the Aruba CX 4100i also simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing requirements.
Features
Ruggedized Aruba CX Switches
– The Aruba CX 4100i Switch Series provides IP30 Ethernet connectivity with high speed uplinks, 30W and 60W PoE, to securely extend the enterprise network and support IoT in harsh environments.- Using Aruba AOS-CX operating system across Aruba CX switching platforms and deployment domains provides a simpler, more consistent operator experience.- Achieve versatile , deployment with fan less 12 port DIN rail mount and 24 port 1U rack mount models with built-in 1/10GbE uplinks and up to 360W Class 4 and Class 6 PoE.- Fully-managed enterprise class switches deliver Layer 2 capabilities with support for static routing, ACLs, robust QoS, traffic prioritization, and IPv6 support.- Simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required.
Performance and Power
– The Aruba CX 4100i Switch Series is designed with Aruba ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. ,- Deploy IoT devices and wireless access points in harsh environments with models that support up to 360W IEEE 802.3at Class 4 and IEEE 802.3.bt Class 6 Power over Ethernet. ,- Built-in wire speed 1/10GbE uplinks remove bottlenecks at the access layer where devices connect.
Simplified Configuration and Management
– The Aruba CX 4100i Switch Series provides flexibility to manage and simplify configurations with Aruba NetEdit, easy to use built-in web GUI, or industry standard CLI. ,- Aruba NetEdit introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes and verifies policy conformance post network updates. ,- Software-defined ready with REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks.
Smarter Segmentation
– The Aruba CX 4100i Switch Series supports Aruba Dynamic Segmentation1 that automatically applies and enforces user, device, and application-aware policies on Aruba wired and wireless infrastructures. ,- Automated device profiling, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike.- Reduces time-consuming and error-prone task of adds, moves and changes.
