HPE JL626A - Aruba CX 8325-32C 32-Port 100 Gb Fixed-Port Switch
Overview
The HPE JL626A is a fixed-port, 1-rack-unit switch in the Aruba CX 8325 family, delivering 32 ports of 100 GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) in a front-to-back airflow form factor with 6 hot-swappable fans and dual power supplies. It addresses high-density, high-bandwidth aggregation or top-of-rack deployments in data-centre or campus environments, suitable where 100 Gb connectivity is a requirement and rack airflow must match data-centre containment. It integrates with Aruba's AOS-CX operating system and supports modern routing, automation and analytics.
Key Features
32× 100 Gb QSFP+/QSFP28 ports provide high-throughput connectivity in a compact 1U footprint for dense aggregation or spine-layer use.
Front-to-back airflow design aligns with cold-aisle / hot-aisle containment and data-centre cooling best practices.
Redundant power supplies and 6 hot-swappable fans enhance availability and maintenance in live racks.
Full Aruba AOS-CX feature set: supports Layer 2/3 routing (BGP, OSPF), VXLAN, automation via REST/CLI and analytics via the embedded Network Analytics Engine.
