the 6300 switches provide industr y leading monitoring and
troubleshooting capabilities for the access layer.
A powerful Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers
performance and robust feature support with exible
programmability for tomorrow’s applications. The Aruba
Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for stacking of up
to 10 switches, providing scale and simplied management.
This exible series has built-in wirespeed 1/10/25/50GbE
uplinks1 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

PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATORS
AOS-CX - a modern operating system
The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a
modern, database-driven operating system that automates
and simplies 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.

DATA SHEET
ARUBA CX 6300 SWITCH SERIES
Our AOS-CX software also includes Aruba Network Analytics
Engine (NAE) and support for Aruba NetEdit. Because AOS-
CX is built on a modular Linux architecture with a stateful
database, our operating system provides the following
unique capabilities:
• Easy access to all network state information allows unique
visibility and analytics
• REST APIs and Python scripting for ne-grained
programmability of network tasks
• A micro-services architecture that enables full integration
with other workow systems and services
• Continuous telemetry data with WebSocket subscriptions
for event driven automation
• Continual state synchronization that provides superior
fault tolerance and high availability
• All software processes communicate with the database
rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and
resiliency and allowing individual software modules to be
independently upgraded for higher availability
Aruba Central - unied single pane of glass management
Flexible cloud-based or on-premises management for unied
network operations of wired, WLAN, SD-WAN, and public
cloud infrastructure. Designed to simplify day zero through
day two operations with streamlined workows. Switch
management capabilities include conguration, onboarding,
monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting.
Aruba Network Analytics Engine - advanced monitoring
and diagnostics
For enhanced visibility and troubleshooting, Aruba’s
NetworkAnalytics Engine (NAE) automatically monitors and
analyzes events that can impact network health. Advanced
telemetr y and automation provide the ability to easily identify
and troubleshoot network, system, application and security
related issues easily, through the use of python agents and
REST APIs.
The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores conguration and
operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve
network issues. The data may also be used to analyze trends,
identify anomalies and predict future capacity requirements.
Aruba NetEdit – automated switch conguration and
management
The entire Aruba CX portfolio empowers IT teams to
orchestrate multiple switch conguration changes for smooth
end-to-end service rollouts. Aruba NetEdit introduces
automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes,
and ensures policy conformance post network updates.
Intelligent capabilities include search, edit, validation (including
conformance checking), deployment and audit features.
Capabilities include:
• Centralized conguration with validation for consistency
and compliance
• Time savings via simultaneous viewing and editing of
multiple congurations
• Customized validation tests for corporate compliance and
network change analysis
• Automated large-scale conguration deployment without
programming
• Network health and topology visibility via Aruba NAE
integration
Note: A separate software license is required to use Aruba
NetEdit.
Aruba CX Mobile App – true deployment convenience
An easy to use mobile app simplies connecting and
managing Aruba CX 6300 switches for any size project.
Switch information can also be imported into Aruba NetEdit
for simplied conguration management and to continuously
validate the conformance of congurations anywhere in the
network. The Aruba CX Mobile App is available for download.
Aruba ASICs - programmable innovation
Based on over 30 years of continuous investment, Aruba’s
ASICs create the basis for innovative and agile software
feature advancements, unparalleled performance and deep
visibility. These programmable ASICs are purpose-built
to allow for a tighter integration of switch hardware and
software within campus and data center architectures to
optimize performance and capacity. Virtual Output Queuing
(VOQ) isolates congestion, prevents Head of Line Blocking
(HOLB) and allows full line rate on outgoing (egress) ports.
Flexible ASIC resources enable Aruba’s NAE solution to
inspect all data, which allows for industry-leading analytics
capabilities. The Aruba CX 6300 is based on the Aruba Gen7
ASIC architecture.
Aruba Dynamic Segmentation – campus and branch
fabric
The Aruba Dynamic Segmentation solution enables seamless
mobility, consistent policy enforcement, and automated
congurations for wired and wireless clients across networks
of all sizes. And it extends these benets to applications
hosted on the data center and the public cloud.
2
Page 3
DATA SHEET
ARUBA CX 6300 SWITCH SERIES
This innovation begins with colorless ports and role-
based micro-segmentation technologies. Colorless ports
allows wired clients to connect to any switch port, with the
conguration automated using Radius-Based Access Control.
This eliminates the need for manual on-boarding of clients,
including IoT devices, onto the network.
Role-based micro-segmentation delivers benets of reduced
subnet and VLAN sprawl, simplied policy denition, and
scales policy enforcement by introducing the concept of
client User Roles. These roles are independent of network
constructs such as VLANs and VRFs, and allows clients to be
grouped into a User Role based on their identity. This allows
the colorless ports technology to be extended to the overlay
fabric, as clients are on-boarded with automatic tunnel
creation based on the associated User Role policy.
Dynamic Segmentation provides much needed scale and
exibility in network design by allowing the stretching
of VLANs and subnets across the entire network. Fabric
overlays oer VXL AN on the data plane and provide the
option of a Multi-Protocol BGP eVPN control plane for large
deployments, or a static Layer 2 control plane for simplied
deployments.
Dynamic Segmentation also eliminates the complexity
of service-chaining and redirection of trac to 3rd party
rewalls. User Role Policy can steer client’s trac on overlay
tunnels (User Based Tunnels) to Aruba’s Policy Enforcement
Firewall for deep-packet inspection and application aware
Layer 7 stateful rewall ltering. After performing this
stateful inspection for any security threats, the trac is
automatically put back on the VXL AN fabric to be delivered to
its destination.
Mobility and IoT performance
The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series uses a fully distributed
architecture that utilizes the Aruba Gen7 ASICs. This ensures
that our switches oer ver y low latency, increased packet
buering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching
and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of
bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.
Each switch includes the following:
• Up to 880 Gbps in non-blocking bandwidth and up to 660
Mpps for forwarding
• 50GbE uplinks1 and large TCAM sizes ideal for mobility
and IoT deployments in large campuses with several
thousand clients
• Selectable queue congurations that allow for increased
performance by dening a number of queues and
associated memory buering to best meet the
requirements of network applications
VSF Stacking - scale and simplicity
