HPE Aruba CX 8360‑12C v2 (R9G15A) – 12 × 40/100 Gb QSFP28 Fixed L3 Switch

Overview

HPE Aruba CX 8360‑12C v2 (R9G15A) ek data‑center grade switch hai jo spine ya aggregation ke role mein use ho sakta hai. Isme 12 QSFP28 ports hain jo 40G ya 100G pe operate kar sakte hain, jisse high-bandwidth uplinks ya fabric interconnects possible hain. Switch ka switching capacity 2.4 Tbps hai (per datasheet) aur backplane architecture aise hai ke aap high throughput fabrics build kar sakte hain. OS‑CX operating system ke saath, aap Layer‑3 routing (BGP, OSPF), VSX redundancy, and telemetry + automation features (REST API, Python) ka use kar sakte hain.Reliability ke liye, R9G15A me 2 hot-swap power supplies aur 5 replaceable fans hain. 

Key Features

• 12 × 40/100Gb QSFP28 ports — ultra-high speed interconnects. 

• 2.4 Tbps switching capacity — sufficient for spine‑leaf or core fabrics. 

• L3 routing: Supports BGP, OSPF, static, and more via AOS‑CX.

• Redundant hardware — 2 PSUs + 5 fans to minimize downtime.

• Programmable OS — Full OS‑CX support with APIs and scripting.
