Power over Ethernet (PoE) Features

Enhanced PoE Capabilities

One of the standout features of the HPE R8Q71-61001 Aruba 6200M is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows the switch to deliver both data and power to connected devices over a single Ethernet cable. This is particularly beneficial in environments where it is inconvenient or costly to run separate power cables.

PoE Benefits

• Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for separate power installations, helping businesses cut down on infrastructure costs.
• Simplified Installation: The use of a single cable for both power and data simplifies setup, reducing the number of cables and the potential for tangles and confusion.
• Power for Remote Devices: Ideal for powering remote devices like IP cameras, phones, and wireless access points that are often installed in locations without easy access to electrical outlets.

PoE+ Support

The Aruba 6200M switch supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), which provides up to 25.5W per port. This is especially useful for powering devices with higher energy requirements, such as video surveillance cameras and Wi-Fi access points, without needing additional power adapters.

Advanced Security Features

Comprehensive Network Security

Security is a top priority for modern networks, and the Aruba 6200M switch delivers a range of advanced features to protect your network from unauthorized access and cyber threats. The switch includes built-in security protocols such as 802.1X port-based authentication, which ensures that only authorized devices are granted network access.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

The HPE R8Q71-61001 Aruba 6200M switch supports access control lists (ACLs), allowing you to define rules that determine which devices and users can access certain parts of the network. This adds an additional layer of security by ensuring that sensitive data and systems are only accessible to authorized individuals or devices.

Guest and User Authentication

The switch also supports robust guest and user authentication methods, ensuring that only authenticated users can access the network. This helps prevent unauthorized access, reducing the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.

Secure Management

For network administrators, the Aruba 6200M offers secure management features, such as secure shell (SSH) access and HTTPS, to ensure that network configuration and monitoring tasks are carried out securely.

Network Management and Monitoring
