    See the Transceiver Guide. See the supported transceivers information in the Data Sheet for your switch model. Hot swapping SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers Supported SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers that you can install in your HPE Aruba Networking switch can be “hot swapped”– removed and installed while the switch is receiving power. However, disconnect the network cables from the SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceivers before hot-swapping them.

  • Page 40 Figure 13 Example as a Segment Switch Implementing PoE Figure 14 Example of Connecting to a Backbone Switch For example, you can use an backbone switch to interconnect each of your smaller work group switches to form a larger network. All devices in this network can communicate with each other and also with the campus backbone. 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.

    1. Loosen the T10 screws by turning counter clockwise. 2. Grasping the pull handle of the failed fan, remove the component. 3. Insert the new fan by sliding the component all the way. 4. Tighten the T10 screws by turning them clockwise. Replacing the power supply If the switch is configured with redundant power supplies, the switch will not suffer any loss of traffic or performance if one power supply fails.

    If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset a switch, try any of the following: HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 Switch Series | Installation and Getting Started Guide...

  • Page 53: Restoring The Factory Default Configuration

    Unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling). Press the Reset button on the front of the switch. Reboot the switch via the management console’s boot system command. Power cycling the switch and pressing the Reset button both cause the switch to perform its power-on self test, which almost always will resolve any temporary operational problems.
