HPE ARUBA CX8360-24F2C 24-PORT 24x 1GB/1 0GB + 2x40/100GB QSFP+

Aruba 8360-24XF2C v2 24-port 10G SFP/SFP+ 2-port 100G QSFP+/QSFP28 Switch

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series is designed for next-generation core and aggregation layer of campuses, as well as virtual and highly dynamic data center environments. The switch series provides up to 4.8 Tbps switching capacity, with line-rate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces including support for HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5 Gbps), 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 50 Gbps, and 100 Gbps connectivity in a compact 1U form factor. These switches deliver a fantastic investment for customers wanting to migrate from older 1/10GbE to faster 25GbE, or from 10/40GbE uplinks to 50/100GbE ports. In addition, the 48 and 32 x 25G port CX 8360 models support low-density MACsec ports and enable secured connectivity at 10GbE and 25GbE over unsecured domains. MACsec is also supported on 2 high-speed 40/100G ports on the CX 8360 48-port model.

48-port 1/10/25G with 4 MACsec, 6-port of 40/100G with 2 MACsec (MACsec secured connectivity over untrusted domains)

High performance fully distributed architecture provides up to 4.8 Tbps switching and 1786 Mpps for forwarding

Intelligent monitoring and visibility are delivered by the HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE)

High availability with industry-leading HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) redundancy and redundant power supplies and fans

Advanced Layer 2/3 feature set includes BGP, OSPF, VRF, EVPN, VXLAN and IPv6

Modular cloud-native architectureHPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series features HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) which simplifies the complexities of managing data center networks with automation options to match your IT organization’s operating model.It proactively detects issues and speed troubleshooting with actionable insights provided by an analytics engine embedded in every switch.REST APIs and Python scripting provide fine-grained microservices architecture enabling full integration with other workflow systems and services.Continual state synchronization provides superior fault tolerance and high availability with uninterrupted infrastructure, designed for resiliency and upgrades with zero downtime.Advanced Layer 2/3 feature set includes BGP, OSPF, VRF, EVPN, VXLAN and IPv6
HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE)HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series utilizes the HPE Aruba Networking CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for advanced telemetry and automation to provide industry-first monitoring and troubleshooting systems that greatly improves network operations.The time series database (TSDB) is used to store configuration and operational state to write software modules to troubleshoot problems. This data may also be used to analyze trends, identify anomalies, and predict future capacity requirements.
High availability and resiliencySoftware processes in the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series run as microservices that communicate through the state database of the switch.HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) provides a robust solution for high availability with a unique design for control plane synchronization and an architecture that is redundant in both hardware and software by deploying two chassis with an inter-switch link.
Software-defined automationThe HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series is supported by HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer, a software-defined orchestration solution that simplifies and accelerates leaf-spine network provisioning and day-to-day operations across rack-scale compute and storage infrastructure.It orchestrates a discrete set of switches as a single networking fabric to simplify operations and troubleshooting. This infrastructure and application-aware solution also automates various configuration and lifecycle events.
