The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300M JL662A is a high-performance, stackable Layer 3 switch featuring 48 HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports (1/2.5/5GBase-T) with Class 6 PoE (up to 60W per port) and 4 SFP56 uplink ports (1/10/25/50G) -3. This switch is the highest-density multi-gigabit PoE switch in the CX 6300 series, designed for large-scale Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 deployments requiring high port density and substantial PoE power.
Powered by Aruba’s Gen7 ASIC architecture and the cloud-native AOS-CX operating system, the JL662A delivers advanced Layer 3 capabilities including BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF routing, and MACsec 256 encryption -9. The switch features a fully distributed architecture with virtual output queues (VOQ) to prevent head-of-line blocking, ensuring consistent performance for latency-sensitive applications.
The JL662A supports VSF stacking for up to 10 switches, providing up to 200 Gbps stacking bandwidth and simplified management -3. The switch is compatible with Aruba Central for unified cloud-based management across wired, wireless, and WAN infrastructure, and includes the Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for real-time telemetry, automated troubleshooting, and proactive issue detection.
The JL662A supports dual hot-swappable power supplies for 1+1 redundancy. Compatible power supplies include JL086A (680W), JL087A (1050W), JL670A (1600W), and JL758A (1050W), with PoE budget scaling based on PSU configuration.
