Overview
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is a modern, flexible, and intelligent family of stackable switches ideal for access, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack (ToR). Featuring a cloud-native design and fully programmable operating system (OS). The CX 6300 delivers advanced monitoring and troubleshooting with capabilities like a real-time network analytics engine, HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software and flexible deployment options to implement and validate network configurations. A powerful Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers fast, non-blocking performance for AI, Wi-Fi 7, and Internet of Things (IoT) requirements. HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for stacking of up to 10 switches, providing scale and simplified management. This flexible series has built-in high-speed uplinks and supports high-density IEEE 802.3bt high-power PoE with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet.
What is new supporting point:
Powerful 7th Gen ASIC architecture provides the CX 6300 series with 880 to 1760 Gbps system switching capacity, 660 to 1310 Mpps of system throughput and up to 200 to 400 Gbps stacking bandwidth
High availability with choice between 2 to 10-member Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking for scale, or 2-member Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) cluster for active-active redundancy
Options include 24 to 48-port of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5/10GbE) and 1GbE fiber, supporting up to 90W 802.11bt PoE, all with telemetry and automation via the CX Network Analytics Engine
Manage through single point of control with HPE Aruba Networking Central across wired, wireless, and WAN. Dynamic segmentation enables enhanced security and simple access for users and IoT
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is a family of stackable Layer 3 switches with BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF routing, robust quality of service (QoS), MACsec 256, PTP, AVB and LRM [1]
Three stackable Layer 2-only CX 6300L switches with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit and MACsec 256 encryption are available for high performance access deployments
