HPE Aruba CX 8360‑48XT4C v2 (R9G13A) – 48×10/25G + 4×40/100G L3 Switch

Overview

HPE Aruba CX 8360‑48XT4C v2 (R9G13A) ek high-density, fixed 1U switch hai jo data‑center core ya aggregation roles ke liye design kiya gaya hai. Ismein 48 RJ-45 ports hain jo SmartRate ke zariye 1G, 2.5G, 5G, 10G, ya 25G speed provide kar sakte hain, aur 4 QSFP28 ports hain jo 40G ya 100G uplinks allow karte hain.Yeh switch approx 4.8 Tbps switching capacity ka model hai, jo heavy fabric traffic ko efficiently handle kar sakta hai.  Aruba OS‑CX ke zariye ismein Layer‑3 routing (BGP, OSPF, VRF), VSX redundancy, MACsec security, aur automation (REST API, Python) ka support hai. Power aur reliability ke liye, 2 hot-swappable PSUs + 3 fan trays bundle mein shamil hain (ya alag configuration bhi mil sakti hai).
