## Summary description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 is a managed L3 switch featuring 40x10G Base-T ports, 8x10G SFP+ ports, and 4x40/100G QSFP28. It offers a switching capacity of 1760 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 family designed for campus core, aggregation layers and top-of-rack data center deployments. The CX 8100 platform runs AOS-CX software and provides per-switch analytics, programmability via REST APIs and Python, and resiliency features that reduce service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. Models in the series include a mix of 1/10GbE (SFP/SFP+) and 40/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) interfaces in a compact 1U form factor; the product variant described here provides 40x10G Base-T ports, 8x10G SFP+ ports and 4x40/100G QSFP28 ports with a switching capacity of 1760 Gbit/s.
Advantages
The CX 8100 delivers real-time, network-wide visibility through an embedded analytics engine and supports automation and orchestration via REST APIs, Python scripting and Aruba Fabric Composer. Its modular cloud-native architecture uses microservices and continual state synchronization for fault tolerance and high availability, while Aruba VSX enables control-plane redundancy across chassis. The platform supports mixed copper and fiber connectivity and line-rate performance suitable for demanding campus and data center top-of-rack environments.
Suitable for
Campus core and aggregation switching
Top-of-rack (ToR) switches in leaf-spine data center designs
Environments requiring a mix of 10GbE copper and 10GbE/40/100GbE fiber links
Networks that need programmability, telemetry and automated operations
Key specifications
Model: Managed Switch HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 (MPN R9W92A)
Ports: 40x10G Base-T, 8x10G SFP+, 4x40/100G QSFP28
Switching capacity: 1760 Gbit/s
Software: AOS-CX with REST APIs, Python scripting and Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE)
Form factor: 1U
High availability: Aruba VSX, dual control-plane state synchronization
How to use
Install the switch in a standard 1U rack slot and connect power and network uplinks according to your rack and cabling plan. Use the AOS-CX command line or REST APIs for initial configuration, or deploy Aruba Fabric Composer to orchestrate fabric provisioning and lifecycle management across leaf-spine deployments. Configure VLANs, routing, and QoS as required for your topology, and enable telemetry and the Network Analytics Engine to collect real-time operational data for troubleshooting and capacity planning.
Usage recommendations
For high availability, deploy CX 8100 switches with Aruba VSX across two chassis and maintain synchronous state for control planes. Use a combination of 10G Base-T for copper endpoints and SFP+/QSFP28 for fiber uplinks to match link distances and performance needs. Regularly collect telemetry with NAE and store time-series data to support trend analysis and proactive capacity planning.
