HPE Aruba CX 8360‑24XF2C v2 JL711C – 24‑Port 10G SFP+ + 2‑Port 100G QSFP28 Managed Switch
Overview
The HPE Aruba CX 8360‑24XF2C v2 (model JL711C) is a fixed‑port managed switch built for aggregation or core layers in campus or data‑centre networks where you need high density 10 Gb access ports plus 100 Gb uplinks. It offers 24 SFP/SFP+ ports (10 Gb) alongside 2 QSFP28 ports (100 Gb) in a 1U rack form‑factor. With a switching capacity in the ~1.76 Tbps class (as documented) it supports heavy east‑west traffic in virtualised or storage‑centric environments. It runs Aruba’s AOS‑CX operating system, supporting advanced segmentation, telemetry and routing. Ideal for a campus building aggregation or leaf‑to‑spine connection where multiple 10G access switches feed into the 100G uplinks.
