HPE Aruba CX 8360‑48XT4C v2 R9G12A – 48 × 10Gb + 4 × 40/100Gb L3 Switch

Overview

HPE Aruba CX 8360‑48XT4C v2 (R9G12A) ek high‑density, fixed 1U L3 switch hai, jo core ya aggregation layer ke liye design kiya gaya hai. Ismein 48 RJ‑45 ports hain jo 10 Gb Ethernet support karte hain, aur 4 QSFP28 ports hain jo 40 Gb ya 100 Gb ka support dete hain.Yeh switch data-center ya campus backbone mein use hone ke liye bana hai, jahaan aapko high throughput aur scalability chahiye ho. 4.8 Tbps switching capacity aur 2,678 Mpps forwarding rate ke saath, yeh model heavy traffic aur dense uplink needs ko manage kar sakta hai. Yeh VSX redundancy ka support deta hai, jisse high availability aur distributed control plane possible hoti hai.Aruba OS‑CX operating system ke zariye, yeh switch advanced Layer‑3 routing (jaise BGP, OSPF), automation (CLI / REST / Python), aur real‑time analytics ko support karta hai.
