HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300F 24-port 1GbE & 4-port SFP56 Switch (JL668A)

HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300F 24-port 1GbE & 4-port SFP56 Switch (JL668A)
The Aruba CX 6300F (JL668A) is a Layer 3, enterprise access switch with 24 × 1GbE copper ports and 4 × SFP56 uplinks supporting 1/10/25/50G (50G via SFP56 DAC for VSF). Built on the Aruba AOS-CX operating system with a modern, cloud-native design, it delivers advanced routing (OSPF, BGP, VRF, EVPN/VXLAN), automation/analytics via Network Analytics Engine, and stacking up to 10 members—ideal for campus access, wiring closets, and branch aggregation.

Key Features:

  • 24 x Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Provides high-speed data transfer for wired devices across the network.
  • 4 x SFP56 Uplink Ports: Supports 1G/10G/25G/50G uplink speeds for scalable network growth.
  • Layer 3 Capabilities: Advanced Layer 3 features including OSPF, BGP, and static routing for efficient traffic management.
  • Energy-Efficient Operation: Complies with industry standards for energy-efficient operation.
  • Advanced Security Features: Includes Access Control Lists (ACLs) and 802.1X authentication for enhanced network security.

Technical Overview:

  • Recommended for: Small to mid-sized businesses, enterprise environments, and branch offices.
  • Ports: 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 x SFP56 uplink ports.
  • Switching Capacity: 448 Gbps
  • Forwarding Rate: 334 Mpps
  • Management: Managed via Aruba Central, Web GUI, CLI, SNMP.
  • Energy Efficiency: Compliant with IEEE 802.3az standards.
