Scalable, Resilient, and High-Density Access Switching for Modern Enterprise Networks
The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series is a powerful family of stackable Layer 3 switches purpose-built for enterprise campus, aggregation, and top-of-rack (ToR) data center deployments. Engineered for performance and flexibility, these switches deliver high availability, advanced security, and simplified operations with up to 880 Gbps switching capacity and 660 Mpps throughput.
Flexible and Modular Enterprise-Grade Design
Available in both fixed (F-series) and modular (M-series) configurations, the CX 6300 Series provides a wide range of port densities and PoE capabilities, including:
- Class 6 and Class 8 PoE support with up to 2880W total power delivery
- Multi-Gigabit Smart Rate ports supporting 1G/2.5G/5G/10GBase-T
- High-performance SFP56 uplinks (1/10/25/50GbE) for future-ready speed and scale
- Field-replaceable, hot-swappable power supplies and fans for high availability
Intelligent Stackability and Virtualization
With Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF), you can stack up to 10 switches over high-speed 50G/25G SFP uplinks, enabling simplified network management and distributed scale with 200 Gbps of stacking bandwidth and up to 10 km of stack distance using long-range transceivers.
Secure and Advanced Layer 3 Capabilities
The CX 6300 Series offers robust Layer 3 features, including:
- BGP, OSPF, VRF, VXLAN, and EVPN support
- MACsec encryption, dynamic segmentation, and policy-based automation
- Enterprise-grade ACLs, QoS, and traffic visibility with analytics
Data Center Ready with Power-to-Port and Efficient Airflow
Certain models are optimized for Top-of-Rack (ToR) data center use, with back-to-front airflow, power-to-port design, and up to 50G interconnect capability—ideal for server aggregation, out-of-band management, and high-speed, low-latency requirements.
Cloud-Native and Programmable Management
CX 6300 switches are built on the AOS-CX operating system, offering full programmability via:
- Cloud-based and on-prem Aruba Central
- CLI, intuitive Web GUI, and REST APIs
- Bluetooth app support via optional dongle for mobile management
Built for Reliability, Compliance, and Extreme Conditions
With comprehensive environmental hardening, acoustic optimization (as low as 28.7 dB), and certifications including FCC, VCCI, CISPR, EN, and IEC safety and emissions standards, the CX 6300 Series is ready for deployment in demanding enterprise and industrial environments.
Ideal Use Cases:
- Enterprise campus aggregation or access layer
- Data center ToR and out-of-band management
- High-density PoE for IoT, wireless APs, and security systems
- Multi-Gig Ethernet for modern workspaces
