## Long description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 is a high-performance managed L3 switch engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern enterprise data centers and campus core environments. Built on the advanced AOS-CX operating system, this switch provides a cloud-native, modular architecture that simplifies network management through automation and programmability. With its compact 1U rack-mountable design, it delivers high-density connectivity, featuring 48 ports of 10G SFP+ and 4 high-speed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, ensuring robust performance for data-intensive applications.
Advantages
This switch offers exceptional operational efficiency by utilizing the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, which provides real-time telemetry and actionable insights to proactively identify and resolve network issues. The microservices-based architecture ensures superior fault tolerance, as individual processes operate independently to prevent system-wide failures. Furthermore, the support for Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) enables a highly resilient, redundant design that maintains continuous availability during control-plane events. Integration with Aruba Fabric Composer allows for seamless software-defined orchestration, significantly reducing the time required for provisioning and managing complex leaf-spine network fabrics.
Suitable for
Enterprise data center core and aggregation layers
Dynamic top-of-rack (ToR) deployments
High-performance campus network backbones
Environments requiring extensive automation and REST API integration
Scalable infrastructure for cloud and IoT workloads
This device may not be suitable for small office or home office environments where the high-density 10G/100G port configuration and advanced L3 routing capabilities exceed the actual network requirements. Additionally, its front-to-back airflow design is specifically optimized for data center racks, making it less ideal for installations in environments without dedicated cooling or noise-controlled spaces.
Key specifications
48 x 10G SFP+ ports
4 x 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports
Switching capacity: 1760 Gbit/s
Form factor: 1U rack-mountable
Airflow: Front-to-back
Power supply: Dual AC power supplies
Operating system: AOS-CX
Installation should be performed by qualified network technicians. The switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. After physical installation, connect the device to your management network and utilize the AOS-CX command-line interface or REST APIs to configure the initial network parameters. Ensure that the front-to-back airflow path is unobstructed to maintain optimal operating temperatures within the rack.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your existing cabling infrastructure supports SFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers.
Ensure your rack environment supports front-to-back cooling requirements.
Confirm that your power infrastructure can accommodate the dual AC power supply configuration.
Assess whether your network management strategy aligns with the AOS-CX automation and orchestration capabilities.
For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the switch is installed in a climate-controlled environment and that firmware is regularly updated to leverage the latest security and analytics features provided by the Aruba AOS-CX platform.
