## Long description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series is a managed Layer 3 switch platform designed for campus core, aggregation, and top-of-rack data center deployments. The R9W86A model provides 24x10G SFP+ ports and 4x40/100G QSFP28 ports in a 1U form factor, delivering a switching capacity of 1280 Gbit/s. The series runs AOS-CX software for programmable automation, real-time analytics, and high availability features suited to cloud, mobile and IoT environments.
Advantages
AOS-CX offers programmable interfaces (REST API and Python) and embedded analytics for proactive troubleshooting and visibility across the network. The modular cloud-native architecture and microservices-based software design improve fault containment and enable zero-downtime upgrades. Aruba VSX and dual control-plane state synchronization provide high availability and resiliency, while broad port density (1/10GbE and 40/100GbE) supports mixed fiber and copper connectivity and 4x10Gbps or 4x25Gbps breakout options.
Suitable for
Campus core and aggregation switches
Top-of-rack (ToR) and leaf-spine data center fabrics
High-performance enterprise networks requiring 10GbE uplinks and 40/100GbE spine connectivity
Environments needing programmability, telemetry and automated operations
Key specifications
Model: HPE Aruba CX 8100 (R9W86A)
Ports: 24 x 10G SFP+ and 4 x 40/100G QSFP28
Switching capacity: 1280 Gbit/s
Software: AOS-CX with REST API, Python scripting and Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE)
High availability: Aruba VSX, dual control-plane state synchronization
Form factor: 1U
Weight: 8.16 kg
Standards: IEEE 802.3an/802.3z/802.3x/802.3cd/802.3cc/802.3bz/802.3by/802.3bj/802.3ba/802.3ae/802.3ad/802.3ab and IEEE 802.1 family
How to use
Install the CX 8100 in a standard 19-inch rack (1U). Connect SFP+ or QSFP28 modules and transceivers appropriate for the chosen fiber or copper cabling. Use AOS-CX CLI, REST APIs or Python scripts to configure VLANs, routing, access control and telemetry. For data center deployments, integrate the switches into a leaf-spine fabric and consider Aruba Fabric Composer for orchestration and simplified provisioning. Configure Aruba VSX and dual control-plane synchronization when deploying redundant chassis for high availability.
Usage recommendations
Use vendor-qualified transceivers and cables and keep AOS-CX firmware up to date. Monitor telemetry via the embedded Network Analytics Engine to detect anomalies early. Deploy redundant power and use Aruba VSX for control-plane redundancy in critical environments.
