What is the switching capacity and port configuration of JL658A#ABA?

The HPE Aruba CX 6300M JL658A#ABA offers 880 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity with 24x 1G/10G SFP+ ports for access and 4x 1/10/25/50G SFP56 ports for uplinks. This non-blocking design delivers 654 Mpps forwarding rate, ideal for 10G server farms and 50G stacking links.

Does it support stacking and how many units?

Yes, VSF stacking supports up to 10 switches using 50G DACs on SFP56 ports. Provides unified management, high availability, and bandwidth scaling without complex wiring, perfect for growing enterprise access/aggregation layers.

What are the latency figures across speeds?

Latency is 1.99μs at 1Gbps, 1.49μs at 10Gbps, 2.85μs at 25Gbps, and 2.82μs at 50Gbps. These sub-microsecond figures ensure low-delay performance for real-time applications like virtualization and HPC.

What power and cooling requirements apply?

Idle power is 51W, max 85W at 100% traffic. Requires 1-2 modular PSUs (JL085A/JL757A, 100-240V AC) and 2 fan trays (JL669B). 1U form factor weighs 11.26 lbs with dimensions 1.73x17.4x15.2 inches.

What routing and management protocols are supported?

Layer 3 protocols include OSPFv2/v3, BGP-4, VRRP, IGMPv3, static IPv6. Management via CLI, SNMPv3, SSH, HTTPS, RMON, SFTP. IEEE 802.1 standards for QoS, security, and resiliency enhance enterprise deployments.

Is it suitable for data center top-of-rack use?

Yes, with 880Gbps capacity, low latency, and 10/50G ports, it's optimized for ToR connecting high-density servers. VSF stacking simplifies spine scaling while AOS-CX OS provides analytics and zero-touch provisioning.
