HPE JL581A

Aruba Networking CX 8320 48-Port 1G/10GBASE-T + 6-Port 40G QSFP+ Switch Bundle

The HPE ArubaNetworking CX 8320 (model JL581A) is a powerful, Layer 3 managed switch bundle designed for enterprisecampus core and aggregation roles, or as a high-performance top-of-rack (ToR) data center switch. It combines 48 RJ-45 ports capable of 1G/10G throughput with 6 QSFP+ uplink slots delivering 40G connectivity—ideal for simplifying spine-leaf architectures. This fully equipped bundle includes five redundant fans and two hot-swappable power supplies, ensuring system availability and resilience under high load. The compact 1U chassis delivers up to 2.5 Tbps of switching capacity and approximately 1.905 Mpps forwarding rate, making it ready for today’s mobile, cloud, and IoT-driven environments 

Features

The ArubaCX 8320 series represents HPEvision for modern campus and data center deployment. The JL581A bundle features advanced hardware designed to deliver uncompromising performance with a robust switching engine, powered by Arubanext-gen AOS-CX operating system. Handling both 10GBASE-T and 40G QSFP+ uplinks in a compact form factor, the switch excels in high-density environments where performance and availability are paramount Aruba-CX brings network automation to the forefront with programmable microservices, scriptable workflows via REST APIs and Python, and predictive analytics using its built-in Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for monitoring and troubleshooting . The hardware supports high availability through Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) architecture, along with redundant, field-replaceable fans and power units—minimizing the risk of downtime in mission-critical deployments.

Advanced Options

Comprehensive enterprise features include support for VLAN scalability (802.1Q, up to 4096 per port), IP routing (OSPF, static IPv6 routing, ECMP), multicast, advanced ACLs, Quality of Service (QoS), and enhanced management via SNMP, RADIUS/TACACS+, SSH, and REST-based operations. This makes the switch particularly suited for automation, IoT-ready campuses, and high-speed ToR connectivity in evolving data center networks
