Unbox, install and configure an Aruba AOS-CX 6100 switch

This video shows you the unboxing activities of an Aruba 6100 switch (what's in the box), the physical installation (connecting the switch to the network and get console access), configuring the switch for remote access (SSH, HTTPS and REST), and actually testing access. Notice that I am using a DAC cable to connect up the switch. At the moment of release, the 6100 does not support DAC cables and in the video you will see how to get around this.

This helped me out considerably. I really appreciate this as it boasted my confidence.

Configuring port security on the CX 6000 series is more difficult than on the 2530s. Wish the port security and show port security commands are somewhat the same or similar.

What is the USB cable model are you using there? is there any specific cable or a standard one?

Beste Dik, mooi om te zien dat de eerste review waar ik op zoek bij een nederlander uit kom. na installaties van 3910 / 2620 en 2540 moet ik nu overstappen naar een 6100. DE meeste commando's lijken hetzelfde als op de vorige gen switches. Zie jij nog veel verschillen behalve dat je nog api's kan laden ?

Hello! I have an HPE Aruba 6000 12G switch that I bought a few days ago. I have connected it to the computer with a usb-c cable and an ethernet cable. I have been able to connect to the switch with Putty, but when I try to log in, it doesn't work. I haven't been able to find the correct default username and password anywhere to log in. I should be able to enable WebGui and change the password and username. Could you help me? Do you know about the default username and password? Your username seems to be admin and I've tried entering it, and then I'm asked for a password that I don't know. You seem to get an option to create your own admin password right after entering your username, and I don't get this. I don't know what is causing this problem. I have a 12 port model of this switch.Thanks!

[andrevangijsel]

how does this compare feature wise to an instant on 1930 /1960 series?

[MpDay]

is 'menu' still working in cli? This works like magic and is still available on the 2530. How about CX 6000?

[JucieudoSilva]

Good Morning! As this terminal was opened, I can't open the terminal, I used PUTZ but I can't point to the USB port.

Everybody jumps past vlans. Aruba HP never get this right. If you add a VLAN, then try to add ports, you can't easily add all ports. Not since PROCURVE era have they had this working. YOu have to use CLI.

[hectorsilva]

Good morning, how do I add the gateway to the default vlan?

[hachigatsu]

what app did you use to connect using USB C? I tried using putty but didn't work.
