Reasons To Buy

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. ^[2]
Deploy wireless access points and IoT devices with CX 6300 Series models that offer high density HPE Smart Rate Multi-Gigabit Ethernet with Class 4 (30W), Class 6 (60W), and Class 8 (90W) PoE on each port (720W, 1440W, and 2880W max PoE budget options).
CX 6300L stackable, high-performance Layer 2-only switches with static routing available for customers needing scalability, high-capacity, and cost-effective connectivity in the access layer.

Automation and Analytics

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and a Time Series Database that stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues.
Streamline network configurations at scale and provide AI-powered problem resolution for critical infrastructure platform with new AI insights in HPE Aruba Networking Central.
The HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact network health. Advanced telemetry, automation help identify and troubleshoot network, system, application, and security issues through CLI, Python agents, and REST API.
HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes, and ensures policy conformance post network updates. Intelligent capabilities include search, edit, validation (including conformance checking), deployment, and audit features.
Import switch information into HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software for simplified configuration management and to continual conformance validation.

Unified Management and Smarter Segmentation

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is supported on HPE Aruba Networking Central for single point of control management that delivers enhanced network visibility and an expanded AI toolset, addressing the scale and demands of the most mission-critical environments.
Dynamic Segmentation that automatically applies and enforces user, device, and application-aware policies on HPE Aruba Networking wired and wireless infrastructures.
Automated device profiling, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better end-user experience and streamlined IT operations. Application recognition and control available through CX Advanced Feature Pack ^[1].
Switch-to-switch tunnels enable scalable multi-tenancy support with VXLAN to VRF mapping, while allowing policy application via user roles ^[1].
Reduce manual IT operation tasks around initial deployment or on-going configuration changes to accommodate adds, moves, and changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local-MAC-Authentication (LMA).

Description

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 is new supporting point:
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 ^[1]
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 active-active redundancy.
