## Long description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 Switch Series is a managed L3 switch line designed for campus core, aggregation, and top-of-rack data center environments. The CX 8100 model R9W90A provides 48x10G SFP+ ports and 4x40/100G QSFP28 ports in a 1U form factor, with a switching capacity of 1760 Gbit/s. It runs AOS-CX software, offering programmability, real-time analytics, and features that support resiliency, high availability, and automated operations.
Advantages
The CX 8100 delivers line-rate 1/10GbE and 40/100GbE connectivity in a compact chassis and supports 4x10Gbps and 4x25Gbps breakouts from 40/100G. AOS-CX provides REST APIs and Python scripting for automation and integration, embedded analytics via the Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for telemetry and troubleshooting, and a microservices-based architecture that improves fault tolerance and minimizes service disruption. The platform supports Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) for dual-control-plane high availability and integrates with Aruba Fabric Composer for software-defined orchestration.
Suitable for
Campus core and aggregation switching
Top-of-rack (ToR) data center leaf/aggregation deployments
Environments requiring mixed fiber and copper 1GbE/10GbE connectivity
Networks needing programmability, telemetry, and automated orchestration

Weight: 8.39 kg
How to use
Rack-mount the CX 8100 in a standard 19-inch cabinet (1U). Connect uplinks and server/leaf ports using appropriate SFP+/QSFP transceivers or DAC/AOC cabling and configure interfaces, VLANs, and routing according to your network design. Use AOS-CX CLI, REST APIs, or Python scripts for initial configuration and automation. Enable Aruba NAE and the Time Series Database (TSDB) to collect telemetry, store state, and run diagnostic or analytics modules. For high-availability deployments, configure Aruba VSX across two switches with an inter-switch link and synchronize control-plane state.
Usage recommendations
For predictable operations, integrate the CX 8100 with Aruba Fabric Composer to orchestrate leaf-spine fabrics and use REST APIs or Python scripts to automate routine tasks. Maintain firmware and microservice updates to preserve zero-downtime upgrade benefits and enable Aruba NAE telemetry for proactive monitoring and capacity planning.
