Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300M R8S89A is a high-performance Layer 3 stackable switch designed for enterprise access, aggregation, and data center top-of-rack deployments. It features 24 ports of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet supporting speeds from 100M to 10G Base-T with IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 PoE delivering up to 60W per port, ideal for powering high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IoT devices, and surveillance cameras. Uplinks include 2x 10/25/50G SFP56 and 2x 10/25G SFP (MACsec) ports enabling 880 Gbps switching capacity, 654 Mpps throughput, and 200 Gbps stacking bandwidth across up to 10 units. Powered by Gen7 ASIC with quad-core ARM at 1.8GHz, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 32GB flash, it supports advanced routing (OSPF, BGP, VRF, VXLAN), dynamic segmentation, built-in analytics, and centralized Aruba Central management. Low latency (1.5µs at 10G) and robust security (MACsec 256, role-based access) ensure scalable, secure networking for demanding environments.

What PoE capabilities does the HPE Aruba R8S89A provide?

The R8S89A supports IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 PoE delivering up to 60W per port across 24 Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports, with total budgets up to 1440W depending on power supply. This powers high-performance Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, PTZ cameras, and IoT devices without additional injectors, reducing deployment costs in dense access environments.

What is the switching performance of the CX 6300M R8S89A?

It delivers 880 Gbps switching capacity, 654 Mpps forwarding rate, and ultra-low latency of 1.5 µs at 10Gbps, 2.91 µs at 25Gbps. Powered by Gen7 ASIC with 16MB shared packet buffer, it ensures wire-speed non-blocking performance across all ports for high-throughput data center and campus applications.

How does stacking work on the R8S89A switch?

Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) enables stacking up to 10 switches using 200 Gbps dedicated bandwidth via front-panel SFP56 uplinks. This creates a single logical unit with simplified management, hitless failover, and scalable bandwidth up to 2Tbps in full stacks for aggregation layers.

What management options are available for this switch?

Aruba CX supports cloud-native Aruba Central for zero-touch provisioning, CX Multi-Edit software, and mobile app management. Built-in Network Analytics Engine provides real-time telemetry, AI insights, and Dynamic Segmentation for automated policy enforcement without external controllers.

Is the R8S89A suitable for data center top-of-rack deployments?

Yes, with 24x 10G downlinks, 50G uplinks, 880Gbps capacity, and advanced L3 features like EVPN-VXLAN, it excels as ToR for leaf-spine fabrics. Low latency, high port density, and 1U rack-mount form factor support dense server connectivity with spine aggregation.

What security features does it include?

MACsec 256-bit encryption on 25G uplinks, role-based access control, Layer 7 firewall, and Dynamic Segmentation provide zero-trust security. Supports RADIUS/TACACS+, 802.1X, and extensive ACLs (20K IPv4 ingress) for comprehensive threat protection in enterprise networks.
