Page 32: Sfp/Sfp+/Sfp28/Sfp56 Installation Notes
Use only an approved Laser Class 1 SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceiver. To ensure proper operation of your switch, use only the HPE Aruba SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers supported by your switch. Use only supported Aruba SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers Non-Aruba SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers are not supported. -
Page 33: Sample Network Topologies
The end node devices are connected to the switch by straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables. Either cable type can be used because of the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X features on the switch. Figure 2 Example as a Segment Switch Aruba 6300F/M Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide | (xxxx Switch Series) - Page 34 The switch also works well as a segment switch. That is, with its high performance, it can be used for interconnecting network segments. Simply connect the network hubs that form those segments to the switch or you can also connect other switches. In the preceding illustration, two fast Ethernet hubs with PCs, printers, and local servers attached, are both connected to a switch.
- Page 35 Depending on your bandwidth needs, the links between switches can run at 1G/10G/25G/50G, and use copper or fiber cabling with the appropriate SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers. Links can also be aggregated for additional bandwidth and redundancy. Aruba 6300F/M Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide | (xxxx Switch Series)

Page 42: Diagnosing With The Leds
Check the Port Configuration: A port on your switch may not be operating as expected because it is administratively disabled in the configuration. It may also be placed into a “blocking” state by a protocol operating on the port (dynamic VLANs), or LACP (dynamic trunking). For example, the normal operation of the spanning tree, GVRP, LACP, and other features may put the port in a blocking state. - Page 43 Slow flash - Amber Fan fault UID LED User-configurable LED User define the locator LED : OFF On/Flash (30 min) - User define the blue locator LED: On/Flash Aruba 6300F/M Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide | (xxxx Switch Series)
