The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is a modern, flexible, and intelligent family of stackable switches ideal for enterprise network access, aggregation, core, and data center top of rack (ToR) deployments. Created for game-changing operational efficiency with built-in security and resiliency, the 6300 switches provide the foundation for high-performance networks supporting IoT, mobile and cloud applications.
Built from the ground up with a combination of cutting-edge hardware, software and analytics and automation tools, the stackable 6300 switches are part of the HPE Aruba Networking CX switching portfolio, designed for today's enterprise campus, branch, and data center networks. By combining a modern, fully programmable OS with the HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine, the 6300 switches provide industry leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities for the access layer.
A powerful HPE Aruba Networking Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers performance and robust feature support with flexible programmability for tomorrow's applications. The 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 wirespeed 1/10/25/50GbE1 and 40/100GbE uplinks and supports high density IEEE 802.3bt high power PoE. HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet paves the way for high speed access points and IoT devices by delivering fast connectivity and high power PoE using existing cabling.
Modular models offer redundancy and PoE customization with hot-swappable power supplies and fans. Back-to-front airflow available in switch bundle for hot-cold aisle top-of-rack (TOR) and out-of-band-management (OOBM) data center deployments.
Dynamic Segmentation extends HPE Aruba Networking's foundational wireless role-based policy capability to HPE Aruba Networking wired switches. This means that the same security, user experience, and simplified IT management can be enjoyed throughout the network. Regardless of how users and IoT devices connect, consistent policies are enforced across wired and wireless networks, keeping traffic secure and separate.
Product differentiators | AOS-CX - a modern operating system
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks. A built-in time series database enables customers and developers to utilize software scripts for historical troubleshooting, as well as analysis of past trends. This helps predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security, and performance bottlenecks. AOS-CX operating system features are organized into HPE Aruba Networking CX Foundation and HPE Aruba Networking CX Advanced software licenses.
Every HPE Aruba Networking CX switch includes an active, embedded AOS-CX Foundation license at no additional cost with the option to upgrade to an Aruba CX Advanced license
