HPE ANW CX 6300L 48p Smart Rate 100M/1G/2.5G/5G Class6/8 2p SFP56 50G 2p SFP+ 1G/10G LRM Layer2 Switch

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 are stackable, high-performance Layer 2 switches (Layer 2-only 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 enhanced visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and a Time Series Database that stores configuration and operational state data to help quickly resolve network issues.
Streamline network configurations at scale and provide AI-powered problem resolution for critical infrastructure 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 and 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 rapid network-wide changes and ensures policy conformance after 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 continuous 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 control management that delivers enhanced network visibility and an expanded AI toolset, addressing the scale and demands of mission-critical environments.
Dynamic Segmentation 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 are available through the 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 tasks around initial deployment or ongoing configuration changes for adds, moves, and changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local-MAC-Authentication (LMA).
