Aruba CX 6300 Ethernet Switch

About the Aruba CX 6300

The HPE Aruba Networking 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 HPE Aruba Networwing Analytics Engine, the CX 6300 extends industry-leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to the access layer. Support of HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit and HPE CX Mobile App verify that configurations are flawless and easy to deploy.

A powerful HPE Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers fast, non-blocking performance, meaning your network is ready for tomorrow's unpredictable demands. HPE 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.

• 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 to 1760 Gbps system switching capacity, 660 to 1310 MPPS of system throughput and up to 200 to 400 Gbps stacking bandwidth.
• Series includes full density HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5GbE) multi-gigabit and up to 90W PoE, SFP+ model and switch bundle with power-to-port airflow for data center 1GbE ToR and OOBM deployments.
• Built-in high speed 10/25/40/50/100GbE uplinks (50GbE for DAC connectivity only) with intelligent monitoring and visibility via the Network Analytics Engine.
• Manage via single pane of glass with HPE Aruba Networking Central across wired, wireless, and WAN Dynamic Segmentation enables enhanced security and simple access for users and IoT.
• Three stackable, high-performance CX 6300L Layer 2-only; access switches with HPE Smart Rate Multi-Gigabit and MACsec encryption.

Automation and Analytics

• The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to help fix problems faster. The HPE 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.
• HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit support provides automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes, and helps ensure policy conformance post network updates.

Performance and Power

• The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with HPE 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.
• HPE Aruba Networking 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 1/10/25/50GbE (50GbE for DAC connectivity only) for a total of up to 200 Gbps of stacking throughput per switch.
• The S0E91A switch model also supports QSFP28 uplink speeds of 40 GbE and 100 GbE for up to 400 Gbps of stacking throughput.
• Deploy wireless access points and IoT devices with HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 models that offer h
