Overview

HPE CX 6300 48 Ports Manageable Layer 3 Switch - 5 Gigabit Ethernet, 25 Gigabit Ethernet - 5GBase-T, 25GBase-X, 50GBase-X - 3 Layer Supported - Modular - 4 SFP Slots - 184 W Power Consumption - 2.88 kW PoE Budget - Optical Fiber, Twisted Pair - PoE Ports

The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series is a modern, flexible,and intelligent family of AOS-CX stackable switches ideal for access, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack (TOR) deployments. With a cloud-centric design that combines a fully programmable OS with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, the Aruba CX 6300 extends industry-leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to the access layer.Support of Aruba NetEdit and the Aruba CX Mobile App verify that configurations are flawless and easy to deploy.

A powerful Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers fast,non-blocking performance, meaning your network is ready for tomorrow's unpredictable demands. Aruba Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for stacking of up to 10 switches, providing scale and simplified management. This flexible series has built-in highspeed uplinks and supports high density IEEE 802.3bt high power PoE with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet for high speed APs and IoT devices.

FEATURES | Automation and Analytics

The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to help fix problems faster. The Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact network health.

Advanced telemetry and automation provide the ability to easily identify and troubleshoot network, system, application and security related issues easily, through the use of Python agents and REST APIs.

The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues.

Aruba NetEdit support provides automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes, and helps ensure policy conformance post network updates.

Performance and Power

The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with Aruba Gen7 ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications.

Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) allows you to quickly grow your network using high performance front plane stacking. Four built-in QSFP28 ports support speeds of 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, and 50GbE (50GbE for DAC connectivity only) for a total of up to 200 Gbps of stacking throughput per switch.

Deploy wireless access points and IoT devices with Aruba CX 6300 models that offer high density HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet with 60W PoE on every port for a total of 2880W of PoE.

48 port switch bundle with power-to-port airflow designed for top-of-rack (TOR) and out-of-band-management (OOBM) data center deployments.

  • Stackable Layer 3 switches with BGP,EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, and OSPF with robust security and QoS. Now supporting MACsec 256, PTP, AVB and LRM.
  • High performance 880 Gbps system switching capacity, 660 MPPS of system throughput and up to 200Gbps stacking bandwidth.
  • Series includes full density HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5GbE) multi-gigabit and upto 90W PoE, SFP+ model and switch bundle with power-to-port airflow for data center 1GbE ToR and OOBM deployments.
  • Built-in high speed 10GbE/25GbE/50GbE uplinks (50GbE for DAC connectivity only) with intelligent monitoring and visibility via Aruba Network Analytics Engine.
  • Manage via single pane of glass with Aruba Central across wired, wireless,and WAN.Aruba Dynamic Segmentation enables enhanced security and simple access for users and IoT.
  • New Aruba Data Center Networking Solution SKU (R9F63A) for HPE integrated and mixed use HPE compute, storage and Aruba networking configuration and deployments.
