AI-ready performance and power
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is a wire-speed solution that uses a fully distributed architecture with Gen7 ASICs that deliver low latency, increased packet buffering, and intelligent power consumption for AI, Wi-Fi 7, and Internet of Things (IoT) requirements.
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 100GbE for a total of 200 to 400 Gbps of stacking throughput per switch.
HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) and an inter-switch link (ISL) provide a high-availability solution that maintains state synchronization and an independent control plane across a 2-member active-active switch design [2].
HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet delivers adaptive speed options for Wi-Fi, Internet of Things (IoT), and other clients, alongside Class 4 (30W), Class 6 (60W), and Class 8 (90W) PoE on each port (720W, 1440W, and 2880W maximum PoE budget options).
Additional features include a hibernation mode that enables CX 6300 and CX 6300L (Layer 2-only) switches to schedule downtime to conserve energy. Note: CX 6300L stackable switches are Layer 2-only, balancing scalability, high-capacity, and cost-effective connectivity.
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 (TSDB) that stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues.
HPE Aruba Networking Central provides secure, AI-native full-stack network management and operations to optimize performance, accelerate troubleshooting, and unify wired networks with Wi-Fi, wide area networks, and more.
HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE) provides real-time insights and actions, analyzing events that can impact network health and even mitigating problems directly through quarantining to support network, application, system and security operations.
HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes and helps ensure 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 for continual conformance validation.
Full stack management and security
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is supported on HPE Aruba Networking Central for a 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 are available through CX Advanced Feature Pack [1].
Switch-to-switch tunnels enable scalable multi-tenancy support with Virtual Extensible Local-Area Networks (VXLAN) to VRF mapping, while allowing policy application through user roles [1].
Reduce manual IT operations tasks around initial deployment or ongoing configuration changes to accommodate adds, moves, and changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local MAC authentication (LMA).
Deploy in data center topologies
HPE offers customers highly differentiated pre-engineered IT infrastructure solutions that span a wide variety of HPE Compute, HPE Storage, HPE Networking solutions supporting virtualization, vSAN, HCI, HPC, MCS, Microsoft, SAP HANA, VMware, Nutanix application and IaaS service offerings.

These ready-to-deploy, integrated IT data center solutions help simplify and speed IT service delivery while reducing the time, risk, and expertise needed to deploy complex solutions.
What is new supporting point:
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series is a family of stackable Layer 3 switches with BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF routing, robust quality of service (QoS), MACsec 256, PTP, AVB and LRM [1]
Three stackable Layer 2-only CX 6300L switches 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
Options include 24 to 48 HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports (1/2.5/5/10GbE) and 1GbE fiber, supporting up to 90W 802.3bt PoE, all with telemetry and automation via the CX Network Analytics Engine
