Intelligent Switching for the Modern Enterprise

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series offers a flexible and innovative approach to addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT era.

These switches serve the needs of the next-generation core and aggregation layer of campuses, as well as virtual and highly dynamic data center environments. They provide up to 4.8 Tbps of capacity, with line-rate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces including support for Smart Rate (1/2.5/5 Gbps), 10 Gbps, 25 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 50 Gbps, and 100 Gbps.

The CX 8360 series includes industry-leading line rate ports with 1/10/25/50GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) and 40/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor.

4x10 Gbps and 4x25 Gbps break out from 40/100G ports offer advanced flexibility in connectivity and aggregation. These switches deliver a fantastic investment for customers wanting to migrate from older 1GbE/10GbE to faster 25GbE, or from 10GbE/40GbE uplinks to 50/100GbE ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Front-to-Back airflow directs air from the port side to the rear of the switch, which is ideal for hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center configurations where the cold aisle faces the ports. Back-to-Front airflow is the reverse, directing air from the rear to the port side, suitable for alternative cooling configurations.

MACsec (Media Access Control Security) provides Layer 2 encryption for Ethernet traffic, securing data in transit between network devices. It's essential for protecting sensitive traffic traversing unsecured physical domains, such as connections between buildings or data centers.

VSX (Virtual Switching Extension) is HPE Aruba Networking's high availability technology that allows two switches to operate as a single logical device. It provides active-active redundancy, seamless failover, and simplified network design without the complexity of traditional spanning tree protocols.
