Managed Switch Aruba 6300F 24-port 1GbE Class 4 PoE & 4-port SFP56

The Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series is a family of AOS-CX stackable managed switches designed for enterprise access and aggregation. The Aruba 6300F model provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports with Class 4 PoE and four SFP56 uplink ports, a switching capacity of 448 Gbit/s and a MAC address table supporting 29,490 entries. Built on Aruba Gen7 ASICs and a cloud-centric architecture, the series offers programmable OS features, built-in analytics and support for Aruba Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) for simplified scale and management.

Advantages

The Aruba 6300F delivers wire-speed switching and low-latency performance with distributed Gen7 ASIC architecture, plus advanced telemetry and the Aruba Network Analytics Engine for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting. It supports high-density HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 802.3bt-capable power delivery on PoE models, and VSF stacking up to 10 switches for simplified management. Integrated automation via Python agents, REST APIs and a Time Series Database improves visibility and speeds up fault resolution.

How to use

Install the Aruba 6300F in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting hardware. Connect uplink fiber or copper via the SFP56 ports and attach hosts, wireless access points or IoT devices to the RJ-45 ports. Configure the switch using the AOS-CX CLI, web UI, Aruba NetEdit or the Aruba CX Mobile App. Use VSF to stack multiple units for unified management and apply policies using Aruba Dynamic Segmentation, NAE telemetry and role-based access controls.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a controlled environment with adequate ventilation and stable power. Plan PoE budget per port when deploying high-power APs or IoT devices to ensure the total PoE capacity meets your requirements. Use Aruba NetEdit or automation scripts for consistent configuration across multiple switches and enable NAE telemetry for proactive monitoring.
