HP R0X31A 6400 Management Module switch module

Aruba 6400 Management Module

The Aruba R0X31A is a plug-in management module designed for Aruba 6400 series switches including the 6405 and 6410 models. It provides a single dedicated management port for out-of-band administration. Network engineers responsible for these chassis use it to maintain remote access even when the data plane is congested or misconfigured.

Single management port impact

The module adds one physical management interface to the switch chassis, enabling direct serial or Ethernet console access for configuration and monitoring. This dedicated path separates management traffic from production traffic, so firmware upgrades, troubleshooting and recovery operations can proceed without interrupting user data flows.

Chassis compatibility check

Before ordering, verify that the target chassis is an Aruba 6400 series switch — specifically a 6405 or 6410 — and that an empty management module slot is available. The module will not function in other switch families or in chassis that already have both management slots populated. Buyers needing redundant management should confirm the second slot is free.
