HPE 24-port 1GbE and 4-port SFP56 Switch

The HPE 24-port 1GbE and 4-port SFP56 Switch is a premier member of the Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series, purpose-built for enterprise networks that demand reliability, intelligent automation, and scalable performance. This switch blends a dense copper access footprint with high-speed fiber uplinks to create a flexible core/distribution solution that fits mid-market data centers, campus networks, and branch aggregation. With 24 fixed 1GbE copper ports, plus 4 high-capacity SFP56 uplinks, it delivers a balanced mix of access density and uplink throughput that helps reduce bottlenecks and future-proof your network for evolving workloads. Built on the Aruba CX operating system, it offers modern features such as advanced QoS, security policies, telemetry, and simplified management that empower IT teams to deploy, monitor, and scale with confidence. Whether you are refreshing an aging distribution layer, building out a new data center spine, or expanding a campus network, this switch provides a resilient, easy-to-manage platform that integrates seamlessly with Aruba Central and other parts of the Aruba CX portfolio.

  • Flexible port mix with high-bandwidth uplinks—24 1GbE copper ports deliver reliable access connectivity for desktops, IP phones, and edge devices, while 4 SFP56 uplinks provide ultra-fast fiber connectivity to your core or aggregation layers, enabling low-latency, high-throughput data flows across campuses and data centers.
  • Intelligent Aruba CX OS for modern networks—Leverage the Aruba CX operating system’s analytics, policy-based automation, and programmable interfaces. The platform delivers real-time visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and scalable management through CLI, GUI, REST APIs, and SNMP, simplifying day-to-day operations and reducing mean time to repair.
  • Advanced security and segmentation—Built to defend modern networks, this switch supports role-based access control, 802.1X authentication, ACLs, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and other security features that help you protect devices, users, and traffic from threats while maintaining seamless performance for legitimate workloads.
  • Resilient performance for enterprise applications—Designed for continuous operation in mission-critical environments, the switch offers robust QoS, traffic engineering, and robust buffering to handle voice, video, analytics, and large file transfers without sacrificing latency or reliability.
  • Scalable deployment options for growing networks—Ideal for distribution layers, edge access, or compact data-center deployments, this switch can be integrated into larger Aruba CX deployments, with easy provisioning, centralized analytics, and a path to future expansion as your network evolves.

How to install HPE 24-port 1GbE and 4-port SFP56 Switch

  • Unpack and inspect the switch to verify it is intact and all required cables and accessories are present.
  • Physically place the switch in a secure, well-ventilated rack or cabinet and connect it to power and to the network using the 4 x SFP56 uplinks to your core or distribution switches.
  • Connect the 24 x 1GbE ports to end devices, access switches, or edge devices as needed to establish your desired access layer.
  • Power on the switch and access the initial management interface via the Console/SSH or the out-of-band management path. Configure basic network settings such as IP address, VLANs, and switch management credentials.
  • Populate security and QoS policies, enable required routing or Layer 3 features, and integrate with your centralized management platform (e.g., Aruba Central or on-premises management). Validate connectivity and run tests to confirm that latency, throughput, and security policies align with your network design.
