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.
Key Features
24×10 Gb SFP+ ports for high-density server or access-switch uplinks plus 2×100 Gb QSFP28 uplinks: ideal for upgrading access-layer to leaf-spine fabric.
~1.76 Tbps switching capacity (per published spec for this model) enabling full-line-rate forwarding across all ports.
Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules (bundle includes 3 fans, 2 AC PSUs) for high availability.
Full Layer-3 support, built-in analytics (via AOS-CX) and automation readiness: suits campus aggregation or data-centre leaf roles.
