Description

The HPE Networking CW 2150 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 3 Switch delivers enterprise-grade managed switching for small and midsize businesses and branch office deployments. With 390W of Class 4 PoE+ power across all 48 access ports and four 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, it supports a full suite of IP phones, wireless access points, and IoT devices at scale. Up to 176 Gbps nonblocking switching bandwidth and 131 Mpps forwarding rate ensure wire-speed performance under load.

Built for resilience and simplified operations, the CW 2150 supports IRF stacking of up to 9 switches, advanced PoE features including Fast PoE, Perpetual PoE, and PoE Watchdog, plus comprehensive Layer 3 routing (RIP, OSPF, Multi-VRF). Security is hardened with 802.1X, DHCP snooping, ARP protection, Secure Boot, and encrypted management via SSHv2, SNMPv3, and TLS. Managed through a built-in Web GUI, CLI, or SmartMC at no additional licensing cost.

Features

- Fully managed stackable Layer 3 switching optimised for SMB and branch office environments
- IRF stacking of up to 9 switches for a resilient, scalable fabric with single-pane management
- Fast PoE delivers power within seconds of startup; Perpetual PoE maintains power during switch reboot; PoE Watchdog auto-removes power from inactive devices
- Multi-layer security: granular ACLs (IPv4/IPv6, VLAN, port-based), 802.1X, MAC, and Web-based authentication with RADIUS and TACACS+ support
- Secure Boot with digital signature verification prevents unauthorised software at startup
- Threat prevention includes DoS/Control Plane Policing, ARP protection, DHCP snooping, ICMP throttling, port security, and source-port filtering
- Encrypted management via SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, and TLS with role-based privileges and audit logging
- Advanced L3 features including Multi-VRF (VRF-Lite) and Provider Backbone Bridges (PBB)
- Embedded SmartMC, Web GUI, and standard CLI management at no additional cost
- Integration with HPE IMC, HPE AirWave, SNMP managers, and REST APIs for advanced management
- QoS and full IPv6 support for reliable, future-ready connectivity

FAQs

Q: What is the total PoE power budget on the HPE CW 2150 48-port switch?
A: The S6X53A provides a 390W Class 4 PoE+ budget shared across all 48 access ports, compliant with IEEE 802.3at. This is sufficient to simultaneously power a dense deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, and IoT devices.

Q: Does the CW 2150 support stacking, and how many switches can be stacked?
A: Yes. The CW 2150 uses HPE's IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) technology to stack up to 9 switches into a single logical unit. This simplifies management, improves resiliency, and scales your network without adding management complexity.

Q: What Layer 3 routing protocols does the CW 2150 support?
A: The switch supports RIP, OSPF, IPv6 routing, Policy-Based Routing (PBR), and Multi-VRF (VRF-Lite), making it suitable for environments that require inter-VLAN routing and network segmentation at the access or distribution layer.

Q: What management options are available — is there a licensing cost?
A: The CW 2150 includes a built-in Web GUI, standard CLI, and the embedded Smart Management Center (SmartMC) at no additional licensing cost. It also integrates with HPE IMC, HPE AirWave, SNMP managers, and REST APIs for larger deployments.

Q: Is the HPE S6X53A available in Australia and how can I purchase it?
A: Yes. The HPE Networking CW 2150 48-Port PoE+ Switch (S6X53A) is available through iptrading.com.au, an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller. You can request a quote or purchase directly via the product listing for fast, reliable fulfilment.

Q: What security features are built into the CW 2150 switch?
A: The switch includes Secure Boot, 802.1X/MAC/Web-based authentication, granular IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, DHCP snooping, ARP protection, DoS/Control Plane Policing, ICMP throttling, port security, and encrypted management access via SSHv2, SNMPv3, and TLS.
