AI-native performance and power

The HPE Networking CX6300 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.
The 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 100 GbE for a total of 200 to 400 Gbps of stacking throughput per switch.
The Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) uses an inter-switch link (ISL) for high availability and state synchronization between two active-active switches with independent control planes; a switch can belong to either a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack or a VSX cluster, but not both.
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, 2880W and 4320W maximum PoE budget options).
Additional features include a hibernation mode that enables CX6300 and CX6300L (Layer 2-only) switches to schedule downtime to conserve energy. The CX6300L stackable switches are Layer 2-only, balancing scalability, high-capacity, and cost-effective connectivity.

Automation and analytics

The HPE Networking CX6300 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.
The 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 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 Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software for simplified configuration management and for continual conformance validation.

Full stack management and security

The HPE Networking CX6300 Switch Series is supported on HPE Aruba Networking Central or HPE Mist delivering 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 Networking wired and wireless infrastructures.
Improve visibility, performance, end-user experience and simplify IT operations with auto profiling, RBAC, L7 firewall. Application recognition and control are available via CX Advanced Feature Pack. These features are not supported on CX6300L switches.
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; these features are not supported on CX6300L switches.
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.
The 10/25GbE and 40/100GbE CX switches can be deployed as part of an HPE integrated and mixed compute, storage and networking configurations and deployments.
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.

Description

The HPE Networking CX6300 Switch Series is a modern, flexible, and intelligent family of stackable switches ideal for access, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack (ToR). It features a cloud-native design and fully programmable operating system (OS). The CX6300 delivers advanced monitoring and troubleshooting with capabilities such as a real-time Network Analytics Engine, HPE Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software and flexible deployment options to implement and validate network configurations. A powerful Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers fast, non-blocking performance for AI, Wi-Fi 7, and Internet of Things (IoT) requirements. Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for stacking of up to 10 switches, providing scale and simplified management. The new CX6300M switches deliver 90W Class 8 PoE (up to 4320W of PoE budget), enhanced uplink capabilities up to 50G, MACsec/PTP/AVB support, and improved support for high-power enterprise and Wi-Fi 7 deployment.

What is new supporting point:
Three stackable Layer 2-only CX6300L switches with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit and MACsec 256 encryption are available for high-performance access deployments
HPE Networking CX6300 Series delivers stackable Layer 3 switching with BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF routing, robust QoS, MACsec 256, PTP, AVB and LRM; these features are not supported on CX6300L
Powerful 7th Gen ASIC architecture provides the CX6300 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
24 to 48 HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports (1/2.5/5/10GbE) and 1 GbE fiber, supporting up to 90W 802.3bt PoE. New 24/48 port CX6300M models provide 90W power simultaneously for up to 48 ports.
