## Summary description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 is a managed L3 switch featuring 24x10G SFP+ ports and 4x40/100G QSFP28 ports. It has a switching capacity of 1280 Gbit/s and supports various IEEE networking standards. Ideal for high-performance networking environments.

## Long description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series is a managed L3 switch platform designed for campus core, aggregation and top-of-rack data center deployments. The model with 24x10G SFP+ and 4x40/100G QSFP28 ports delivers a switching capacity of 1280 Gbit/s and supports mixed fiber and copper connectivity, making it suitable for environments that require high throughput, programmability and integrated analytics.
Advantages
The CX 8100 runs AOS-CX, a modular cloud-native operating system that provides REST APIs and Python scripting for automation and programmability, real-time analytics embedded in every switch, and continuous state synchronization for enhanced fault tolerance. The platform supports Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) and a Time Series Database for telemetry and trend analysis. High-availability features include dual control-plane synchronization and Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX). The series supports software-defined automation via Aruba Fabric Composer to simplify leaf-spine provisioning and lifecycle operations.
Suitable for
Campus core and aggregation switches
Top-of-rack (ToR) in data center leaf/spine architectures
High-performance environments requiring 10G uplinks and 40/100G aggregation
Networks needing programmability, telemetry and automated workflows

How to use
Install the switch in a standard 1U rack space and connect SFP+/QSFP28 transceivers or DAC/active optical cables as required by your topology. Configure basic L2/L3 settings and enable AOS-CX features through the CLI, REST API or Aruba management tools. Use Aruba Fabric Composer to orchestrate the device as part of a leaf-spine fabric and enable NAE for telemetry collection and troubleshooting. Follow standard safety procedures for grounding and airflow management.
Usage recommendations
Use the CX 8100 in environments with mixed 1/10/25/40/100GbE requirements; enable redundant control-plane configurations (VSX) for high availability, and integrate NAE and TSDB telemetry into your monitoring and capacity-planning processes.
