HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 Switch Series

25.6 Tbps · 32× 400GbE in 1U · 100/400G leaf & spine — Aruba’s high-end data-centre fabric switch

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300 is a 25.6 Tbps, 1U fixed switch with 32 ports of 100/200/400GbE — built for high-bandwidth data-centre leaf and spine fabrics. Each 400G port breaks out to 4× 100GbE, 2× 200GbE or 1× 400GbE, and 100GbE ports break out to 4× 25GbE, so a single CX 9300 can present up to 128× 100GbE or aggregate large pods of up to ~6,000× 25GbE or ~2,000× 100GbE servers. It runs AOS-CX with EVPN-VXLAN for modern overlay fabrics.

Key Features

Everything you need in one device

400G leaf & spine in 1U

Thirty-two QSFP-DD ports give 25.6 Tbps of non-blocking switching, deployable as a 100GbE leaf or a 100/400GbE spine — the foundation of a compact, high-bandwidth data-centre fabric.

🌐

EVPN-VXLAN overlay

Native BGP EVPN-VXLAN provides L2/L3 overlay services for multi-tenant fabrics, with VSX for dual-active top-of-rack redundancy and non-disruptive upgrades.

🔀

Flexible breakout

400G ports break out to 4×100/2×200, and 100G ports to 4×25G — so one platform serves a wide range of server speeds and pod sizes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is the CX 9300 a leaf or a spine switch?

Both. With 32× 100/200/400GbE ports and flexible breakout, the CX 9300 works as a 100GbE leaf (top-of-rack) or a 100/400GbE spine in a data-centre fabric. A single switch can present up to 128× 100GbE using breakout cabling.

Q. What is the difference between the CX 9300 and CX 9300S?

The CX 9300-32D is a 25.6 Tbps switch with 32× 400GbE QSFP-DD ports. The CX 9300S-32C8D is a 16 Tbps variant with 32× 100GbE plus 8× 400GbE ports — a lower-cost option where full 400G density is not required. We will size the right model to your fabric.
