HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300M Switch (JL664A) - 24-port 1GbE + 4-port SFP56
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300M Switch (Model: JL664A) is a high-performance, stackable Layer 3 switch designed for modern access, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack deployments. It combines robust switching capacity, advanced security features, and cloud-native management to deliver reliable, scalable networking for demanding enterprise environments. This switch is part of the acclaimed Aruba CX 6300 Series, offering unparalleled visibility, automation, and flexibility.
Key Features
- 24 x 1GbE RJ45 ports and 4 x SFP56 ports (10/25/50G)
- Up to 10-unit stacking with VSF or active-active redundancy with VSX
- Advanced Layer 3 features: BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF
- High-density PoE support (up to 90W per port) with HPE Smart Rate Multi-Gigabit
- Built-in Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting
Technology Overview
The Aruba CX 6300M Switch leverages a 7th Generation ASIC architecture, providing non-blocking performance with low latency and high throughput. It supports advanced protocols including MACsec 256 encryption, Precision Time Protocol (PTP), Audio Video Bridging (AVB), and Latency Response Monitoring (LRM). The switch is managed via HPE Aruba Networking Central, enabling unified control across wired and wireless infrastructures.
How It Works
The switch operates on a fully distributed architecture, performing wire-speed switching and routing. It uses Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) to stack multiple units into a single logical device, simplifying management and increasing bandwidth. The Network Analytics Engine continuously monitors network health, storing operational data in a time-series database for rapid troubleshooting and AI-driven insights.
Applications
Ideal for:
- Enterprise access layer deployments
- Data center top-of-rack (ToR) switching
- High-density wireless and IoT connectivity
- Campus and branch aggregation
- Multi-tenant environments with VXLAN and VRF support

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the CX 6300M switch be stacked with other models?
A: Yes, it can be stacked with other CX 6300F and CX 6300M switches using VSF. Note that CX 6300L models can only stack with other CX 6300L switches.
Q: Does this switch support PoE?
A: The JL664A model does not support PoE. For PoE capabilities, consider other models in the CX 6300 series.
Q: What management options are available?
A: It can be managed via HPE Aruba Networking Central, CLI, SNMP, or the CX mobile app.
Q: Is VSX and VSF stacking supported simultaneously?
A: No. A switch can only be part of a VSF stack or a VSX cluster at one time.
Precautions
- Ensure compatible DAC cables for 50G stacking (QSFP to SFP56 required for certain models)
- Do not use 50G transceivers or DACs on SOE91A or SOX44A switch models
- VSF stacking is not supported on 1G ports
- Operating temperature and humidity should be within specified limits for optimal performance
