HPE Aruba CX 6300M R9F63A – 48-Port 1 Gb + 4 × SFP56 Fixed Switch
Overview
The HPE Aruba CX 6300M (R9F63A) is a 1U, fixed Layer‑3 switch engineered for enterprise access and distribution deployments. It offers 48 Gigabit RJ‑45 ports for user or device connectivity, and 4 SFP56 ports that can serve as uplinks or stacking links.This switch delivers 496 Gbps of switching capacity, making it well-suited for access-layer aggregation with enough headroom. Thanks to support for Aruba’s Virtual Switching Framework (VSF), you can stack up to 10 switches into a single logical unit — simplifying management for campus deployments.With Aruba’s OS‑CX operating system, you get full L3 capabilities (BGP, OSPF, VRF), programmability, and rich telemetry through Aruba’s network analytics. The 6300M design supports “power‑to‑port” airflow, two hot‑swappable fan trays, and the option to add a second power supply for redundancy, making it reliable for enterprise edge setups.
