## Summary description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325H is a managed Layer 3 switch with a switching capacity of 2160 Gbit/s. It supports various IEEE networking standards and features a 1U rack-mountable form factor, making it suitable for high-performance networking environments.

## Long description

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325H 18p SFP28 25G 4p QSFP28 100G is a managed Layer 3 switch designed for campus core/aggregation and data center top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR) deployments. Based on the AOS-CX operating system with a microservices architecture, REST APIs and Python scripting, the CX 8325H delivers high-performance switching in a compact 1U half-width form factor suitable for edge and colocation data centers, as well as demanding compute and storage networking use cases.
Advantages
The switch provides line-rate support for 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE interfaces and offers up to 2,160 Gbit/s switching capacity. AOS-CX enables automation and programmability through REST APIs, Python scripting and the Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for intelligent monitoring and remediation. High availability is supported via VSX redundancy and redundant power and cooling options. The half-width CX 8325H models deliver flexible port configurations for varied deployment needs.
Suitable for
Campus core and aggregation switching
Data center top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR)
Edge and colocation data center deployments
Compute and storage network connectivity requiring 25G/100G ports

How to use
Install the CX 8325H into a 1U rack space using the provided mounting hardware. Connect uplink and leaf devices to the SFP28 and QSFP28 ports according to your network design. Use the AOS-CX CLI, REST APIs or Python scripts to configure Layer 2/3 protocols, QoS, ACLs and VXLAN/BGP-EVPN as required. Monitor system health and telemetry with the built-in Network Analytics Engine and integrate with external network management tools via SNMP or the REST interface.
Usage recommendations
For high-availability environments, deploy VSX pairs and use redundant power supplies. Use appropriate transceivers for 25G/100G links and enable AOS-CX automation features to reduce manual configuration and speed troubleshooting.
