The Aruba CX 63 Switch Series is a modern, flexible, and intelligent family of AOS-CX stackable switches ideal for enterprise access and aggregation. With a cloud-centric design that combines a fully programmable OS with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, the Aruba CX 63 extends industry-leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities to the access layer. Support of Aruba NetEdit and the Aruba CX Mobile App verify that configurations are flawless and easy to deploy.
A powerful Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers fast, non-blocking performance, meaning your network is ready for tomorrow’s unpredictable demands. Aruba Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) allows for stacking of up to 1 switches, providing scale and simplified management. This flexible series has built-in wirespeed 1/1/25/5GbE uplinks and supports high density IEEE 82.3bt high power PoE with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet for high speed APs and IoT devices using existing cabling.
Features
Automation and Analytics
- The Aruba CX 63 Switch Series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to help fix problems faster. The Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact network health.
- Advanced telemetry and automation provide the ability to easily identify and troubleshoot network, system, application and security related issues easily, through the use of Python agents and REST APIs.
- The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues.
Performance and Power
- The Aruba CX 63 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with Aruba Gen7 ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications.
- Aruba Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) allows you to quickly grow your network using high performance front plane stacking. Four built-in QSFP28 ports support speeds of 1GbE, 1GbE, 25GbE, and 5GbE for a total of up to 2 Gbps of stacking throughput per switch.
- Deploy wireless access points and IoT devices with Aruba CX 63 models that offer high density HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet with 6W PoE on every port for a total of 288W of PoE.
Smarter Segmentation
- The Aruba CX 63 Switch Series supports Aruba Dynamic Segmentation that automatically applies and enforces user, device, and application-aware policies on Aruba wired and wireless infrastructures.
- Automated device profiling, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike.
- Switch-to-switch tunnels enable scalable multi-tenancy support with VXLAN to VRF mapping, while allowing policy application via user roles.
