Switch managed Aruba 6300M 24 porte 1GbE Class 4 PoE e 4 porte SFP56

The Aruba CX 6300 Series is a family of modern, stackable AOS‑CX switches designed for enterprise access and aggregation. The series pairs a programmable operating system with Aruba Network Analytics Engine for extended monitoring and troubleshooting at the access layer. Built on Aruba Gen7 ASICs, the platform delivers non‑blocking, wire‑speed switching and supports Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) for stacking up to 10 switches. Models in this family include wirespeed 1/10/25/50GbE uplinks, high‑density IEEE 802.3bt power over Ethernet and HPE Smart Rate multi‑gigabit Ethernet for high‑speed APs and IoT devices while leveraging existing cabling.

Advantages

The Aruba CX 6300 Series provides integrated analytics and automation for real‑time visibility and faster issue resolution using the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, advanced telemetry, Python agents and REST APIs. Its Gen7 ASIC architecture ensures low latency, increased packet buffering and adaptive power consumption while delivering full wire‑speed switching and routing. VSF stacking with QSFP28 front‑plane ports enables high aggregate stacking throughput, and models with HPE Smart Rate and IEEE 802.3bt PoE deliver multi‑gigabit connectivity and high power per port for APs and IoT devices.

Suitable for

• Enterprise access layer switching in campus networks
• Aggregation switches for medium to large LANs
• Deploying high‑performance wireless access points and powered IoT devices
• Environments requiring centralized monitoring and automation

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19" rack using the supplied mounting brackets and connect uplink ports to the aggregation or core layer using appropriate SFP56/QSFP28 transceivers and cable types. Connect access devices to the 24 Gigabit RJ‑45 ports. Configure the switch via the AOS‑CX CLI, web UI or automation tools such as Aruba NetEdit and the Aruba CX Mobile App. Use Aruba NAE and TSDB for telemetry and historical state data to monitor health and troubleshoot events. For stacking, enable Aruba VSF and connect QSFP28 stacking ports according to deployment guidelines to create a single logical switching fabric.

Recommendations

For deployments with high power or multi‑gigabit requirements, choose Aruba CX 6300M models that support HPE Smart Rate multi‑gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 802.3bt PoE. Use Aruba NetEdit and the CX Mobile App to validate configurations before wide deployment, and enable NAE telemetry to maintain visibility and speed up troubleshooting.
