What it is

An Aruba CX 6200F Series stackable access switch for enterprise branches, SMB, and campus edge that need PoE for APs/phones/cameras plus modern AOS-CX operations.
JL725A is the 24-port PoE+ model: 24 × 1GbE RJ-45 PoE downlinks for powered edge devices and 4 × SFP+ uplinks supporting 1G / 10G. It runs the same AOS-CX platform and analytics as the broader CX family.

  Four SFP+ uplinks keep access-to-core fast and future-proof.

• Real stacking (VSF)
  Stack up to 8 switches into one logical switch for clean growth and simpler ops.

• AOS-CX + built-in visibility
  Same CX CLI, automation hooks, Aruba Central support, and telemetry as higher models.
