HPE J9821A

Aruba 5406R zl2 6-Slot Switch Chassis

The HPE Aruba J9821A switch chassis serves as the robust base for the 5400R zl2 modular switch family. With room for up to six plug‑in modules, it supports high-density deployment of Gigabit, 10 GbE, PoE+, and 40 GbE network access—perfect for campus, data center edge, or enterprise backbones that demand scalability, resiliency, and advanced control. 

Features :

Based on the powerful sixth-generation ProVision ASIC and delivering a massive 2 Tbps crossbar fabric at 2.1 µs latency, the J9821A chassis offers exceptional performance. . Equipping up to six modules—including PoE+, SFP+, QSFP+, and Smart Rate expansion cards—provides tailored connectivity (up to 96×10 GbE, 288×1 GbE). Dual PSU slots and fan trays ensure operational reliability and redundancy.

Advanced Options :

Featuring Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) with hitless failover, the chassis can integrate multiple units under one management plane for high availability.  It also supports SDN/OpenFlow, IPv4/IPv6 routing, OSPF, BGP, QoS, and security tools—all license-free.

Product Key Features

  • Modular 4U chassis with six expansion slots for zl2 modules

  • 2 Tbps crossbar switching fabric & 960 Gbps switching capacity

  • Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking & hitless failover

  • Dual power supply support, hot‑swappable modules & redundancy

  • Enterprise Layer 2/3 features (OSPF, BGP, IPv6, OpenFlow)

  • Integrated management via ClearPass, AirWave, and Aruba Central

Reliability & Performance :

The chassis is built for enterprise-grade uptime, with hot-swappable modules, management redundancy, and forwarding rates up to 571 Mpps. Its low-latency 2.1 µs forwarding supports sensitive applications like VoIP and video. Integrated support for ClearPass, AirWave, and Aruba Central enables unified management across wired and wireless infrastructures. With thermal and electrical efficiency built in, it remains quiet and reliable even under full PoE+ load
