HPE CW 2150 16-port PoE+ 248W Network Switch with 4x SFP+ Ports S6X55A

HPE CW 2150 16-port PoE+ 248W Network Switch with 4x SFP+ Ports S6X55A

The HPE Networking CW 2150 S6X55A is a fully managed, stackable Layer 3 network switch designed for small and midsize businesses, branch offices and growing networks. It combines 16 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with four 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, providing practical connectivity for access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones and other compatible network devices.

Flexible Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Connectivity

Sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T ports provide wired Gigabit connectivity and Class 4 PoE+, while four 1G/10G SFP+ ports support high-speed uplinks to servers, storage systems or other switches. The switch also provides dedicated RJ45, USB Type-C and out-of-band management interfaces for administration and deployment.

248W PoE+ for Connected Devices

A total PoE power budget of 248W allows compatible devices to receive data and power through their Ethernet connections, helping reduce the need for separate electrical wiring. Each Class 4 PoE+ port can deliver up to 30W, subject to the overall available power budget.

Advanced power-management capabilities include fast PoE, perpetual PoE and PoE Watchdog. These features help deliver power shortly after start-up, maintain power during supported switch restarts and automatically power-cycle an unresponsive connected device.

Layer 3 Switching and Resilient Stacking

Layer 3 capabilities include IPv4 and IPv6 support, static routing and dynamic routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF. HPE Intelligent Resilient Fabric technology allows up to nine compatible switches to operate as a single logical device, simplifying administration while supporting link redundancy and network availability.

Traffic Control and Quality of Service

Advanced quality of service classifies traffic using Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 information. Priority queuing, weighted round robin scheduling and traffic rate controls help administrators manage congestion and prioritise latency-sensitive services such as voice and video.

Comprehensive Network Security

Secure boot verifies digital signatures during start-up to help prevent unauthorised software from loading. Granular access control lists can filter traffic by IPv4, IPv6, VLAN and port, while identity-based policies help control access to network resources.

• IEEE 802.1X, MAC-based and web authentication options support controlled network access.
• RADIUS and HWTACACS provide centralised authentication and management controls.
• SSHv2, HTTPS, TLS and SNMPv3 help protect administrative access.
• ARP and DHCP protection, port security and control-plane policing help address common network threats.
• Role-based privileges and audit logging support accountable network administration.

Flexible Management Options

The switch can be administered through a secure web interface or industry-standard command-line interface. Its embedded Smart Management Center provides centralised configuration backup, software management and switch replacement tools without an additional licence fee.

Further management options include HPE Intelligent Management Center, HPE Aruba Networking AirWave, SNMP management platforms and REST APIs for integration with compatible monitoring and administration systems.
