Aruba Switches

Enterprise Campus and Branch Switching from HPE Aruba

Aruba switches from HPE address the network growth that outpaces most IT budgets, adding wireless APs, IoT devices, and security cameras to a backbone sized for half the current load. The lineup spans Instant On switches for small businesses up to CX series platforms for enterprise campus deployments, all managed through Aruba Central cloud dashboard or local CLI. Deploy Aruba switching alongside wireless access points and firewalls for unified wired and wireless policy enforcement.

Aruba Switches for Every Network

• Campus and multi-building networks — CX 6000 and CX 6100 series switches with VSF stacking and Layer 3 routing connect multi-floor office buildings and university campuses under unified AOS-CX management
• Branch offices without on-site IT — Instant On 1830 and 1930 switches with simplified cloud management provide VLANs, PoE, and QoS for remote sites managed from headquarters
• Healthcare and clinical environments — dynamic segmentation automatically applies network policies to medical devices, clinical workstations, and guest WiFi without manual VLAN assignments
• Education and school buildings — high-port-count PoE+ models power classroom access points, IP phones, and security cameras across distributed school campuses

What Sets Aruba Switches Apart

Aruba switches run AOS-CX, a modern network operating system with a built-in REST API, Network Analytics Engine for proactive troubleshooting, and dynamic segmentation that automatically applies access policies based on user identity and device type. This makes CX switches a strong fit for organizations that need zero-trust network access without complex manual VLAN configuration. The Instant On line targets SMB deployments with a browser-based cloud interface that delivers VLANs, QoS, and PoE management without requiring the full Aruba Central license. Both lines support VSF stacking for managing multiple physical switches as a single logical unit, and Aruba VSX provides active-active redundancy with sub-second failover.
