What PoE capabilities does HPE JL167A Aruba 6300M provide?

Features 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 PoE+ ports with Class 4 (30W/port) support and 1440W total budget, expandable to 1600W max. Ideal for powering high-density Wi-Fi 6 APs, PTZ cameras, and VoIP endpoints without external injectors in campus deployments.

What is the stacking performance of this switch?

Aruba VSF stacking via 4x SFP56 ports delivers 200Gbps bandwidth. Stack multiple 6300M units as logical single switch for simplified management, hitless failover, and scalable port density up to hundreds of 1GbE PoE ports.

What Layer 3 routing features are supported?

Full L3 suite: static IPv6, OSPFv2/v3, BGP-4, PIM, MSDP, ECMP, VRRP. Capacities include 64K IPv4 unicast routes, 32K IPv6, 8K multicast groups, enabling efficient data center edge or campus core routing.

What are the latency and forwarding specs?

369Mpps throughput with low latency: 2.28μs (1GbE), 1.46μs (10GbE), 1.9μs (25GbE), 3.49μs (50GbE). Non-blocking architecture ensures wire-speed performance for latency-sensitive VoIP/video traffic.

Is Zero-Touch Provisioning supported?

Yes, ZTP enables automatic configuration download from DHCP server upon boot. Combined with dual firmware images and USB console, reduces deployment time for large-scale campus/branch rollouts.

What management interfaces are available?

USB-C console, dedicated OOB management port, USB-A for storage. Supports Aruba Central cloud management, CLI, REST APIs for automation in multi-site enterprises.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba JL167A, resolved as JL661A 6300M switch, provides enterprise-grade Layer 3 managed switching in a compact 1U form factor. It features 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 PoE+ ports supporting Class 4 (30W/port) with a 1440W PoE budget, expandable to 1600W, paired with 4x flexible SFP56 uplinks/stacking ports (1/10/25/50GbE). Performance includes 496Gbps switching capacity, 369Mpps forwarding rate, and sub-4μs latency across speeds. Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) enables stacking up to 200Gbps bandwidth for simplified management. Advanced features encompass BGP-4, OSPFv3, PIM, VXLAN for overlay networking, ACLs (5000 IPv4 ingress), 32K MAC table, and 64K IPv4 routes. Ideal for campus access, edge aggregation, and SMB data centers requiring PoE-powered devices like APs, cameras, and VoIP phones. Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) accelerates deployment, while dual hot-swappable PSUs (80+ Silver) ensure high availability. Powered by 1.78GHz ARM Cortex-A72 CPU, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 32GB flash.
