Aruba Networking 6300L 24p Smart Rate 1G/2.5G/5G/10G CL6 2p SFP56 50G 2p SFP28 25G L2 Switch

Introduction

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:
High performance ASIC with 880 to 1760 Gbps system switching capacity, 660 to 1310 MPPS of system throughput and up to 200 to 400 Gbps stacking bandwidth.
Family of stackable Layer 3 switches with BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF robust security, QoS, MACsec 256, PTP, AVB and LRM ^[1]
The series includes three stackable Layer 2-only CX 6300L access switches with HPE Smart Rate Multi-Gigabit and MACsec 256 encryption.
Series includes options with full density HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5/10GbE) Multi-Gigabit, up to 90W PoE, and a switch bundle with power-to-port airflow for data center 1G ToR and OOBM deployments.
Built-in high speed 10/25/40/50/100 GbE uplinks with intelligent monitoring and visibility 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.
