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). With its cloud-native design, fully programmable operating system, and the HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine, the CX 6300 Series extends industry-leading monitoring and troubleshooting to the access layer. Support for HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software and the CX mobile app verify that configurations are flawless and easy to deploy.

A powerful ASIC architecture delivers fast, non-blocking performance, ready for tomorrow's unpredictable demands. 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 for APs and IoT devices. |

What's new

• The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 series is a family of stackable Layer 3 switches with BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF robust security, QoS, MACsec 256, PTP, AVB and LRM.
• Three stackable Layer 2-only HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300L switches (datasheet) with HPE Smart Rate Multi-Gigabit and MACsec 256 encryption are available for high performance access deployments.
• 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 activeactive redundancy.
• Options include 24 to 48 ports of HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5/10 GbE) MultiGigabit and 1 GbE fiber, supporting up to 90W 802.11bt PoE, all with telemetry and automation via the Network Analytics Engine
• Manage via 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. |

Features | High Performance and Power

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with 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 uplinks support speeds of up to 10, 25, 50, and 100 GbE for a total of 200 to 400 Gbps of stacking throughput per switch.

CX 6300 Series switches may be deployed in a 2-member active-active design using HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) and an inter-switch link (ISL) for a high availability solution that maintains state synchronization and an independent control plane across both switches.
