Description

The HPE Networking CW 2050 is a fully managed Layer 2 access switch purpose-built for small and medium-sized businesses and branch offices. Delivering 24 x Gigabit PoE+ access ports with a 420W total power budget, plus four 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks, it supports Wi-Fi 7 access points, IP cameras, video phones, and IoT devices with enterprise-grade reliability. Fast PoE, Perpetual PoE, and a PoE watchdog ensure connected devices stay powered even during system reboots or outages.

Backed by 116 Gbps switching capacity and 86.3 Mpps forwarding rate, the CW 2050 delivers non-blocking performance at the access layer. Two-switch IRF stacking simplifies management and boosts resiliency, while 6 kV surge protection suits demanding deployments such as construction sites. Management is handled via Web GUI, CLI, SNMP, REST API, Aruba AirWave, or the embedded CW Dashboard at no additional cost.

Features

- 24 x Gigabit PoE+ access ports (802.3at, 35W per port) for IP phones, cameras, and IoT devices
- Four 1G/2.5G PoE++ ports delivering up to 100W per port — ideal for Wi-Fi 7 access points
- Four dedicated 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks for non-blocking connectivity to aggregation or core switches
- Fast PoE delivers power within seconds of system startup; Perpetual PoE maintains delivery during reboots
- PoE watchdog automatically removes power when a connected device becomes inactive
- Two-switch IRF stacking for high availability and simplified unified management
- Layer 3 static routing and full IPv6 support
- Industry-leading 6 kV surge protection for demanding environments including construction sites
- Embedded CW Dashboard for zero-touch deployment and centralised management — no licence required
- Management via Web GUI, CLI, SNMP, REST API, HPE IMC, and Aruba AirWave
- Multi-layer security: granular ACLs, 802.1X, MAC, Web, RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication
- Encrypted access via SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, and TLS with role-based privileges and audit logging
- Secure Boot verifies digital signatures at startup to block unauthorised software

FAQs

Q: What is the total PoE power budget on the HPE CW 2050 24-port switch?
A: The CW 2050 S6X72A provides a total PoE power budget of 420W. All 24 access ports support 802.3at PoE+ at up to 35W per port, and four additional 1G/2.5G ports deliver PoE++ at up to 100W per port for high-powered devices such as Wi-Fi 7 access points.

Q: Can the HPE CW 2050 switch support Wi-Fi 7 access points?
A: Yes. The four 1G/2.5G PoE++ uplink/access ports deliver up to 100W each, providing the power and bandwidth headroom required by Wi-Fi 7 access points. The 24 standard PoE+ ports also support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E APs, IP cameras, and IP phones.

Q: Does the CW 2050 switch require a separate management licence or subscription?
A: No. The CW 2050 includes an embedded CW Dashboard for simplified deployment and centralised management at no additional cost. It also supports Web GUI, CLI, SNMP, REST API, HPE IMC, and Aruba AirWave out of the box.

Q: Is the HPE CW 2050 stackable, and how many units can be stacked?
A: Yes. The CW 2050 supports up to a 2-member stack using HPE's Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology, enabling high availability and unified management across both switches as a single logical device.

Q: What security features does the CW 2050 switch include?
A: The CW 2050 supports granular ACLs (IPv4/IPv6, VLAN, and port-based), 802.1X, MAC-based, Web, RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication. Encrypted management is provided via SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, and TLS. Secure Boot verifies digital signatures at startup to prevent unauthorised firmware loading.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE S6X72A switch in Australia from IP Trading?
