About the Aruba CX 8360 48Y6C v2 Switch JL702C
The Aruba CX 8360 48Y6C v2 Switch (JL702C) delivers enterprise-grade switching with redundant hot-swappable power supplies and field-replaceable fan modules, ensuring maximum uptime in critical data center environments. Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams will appreciate the 1U rack-mount form factor that optimizes data center density while delivering 2.16 Tbps of switching capacity and 1.6 Bpps forwarding rate across 54 total ports.
This Aruba switching platform combines 48 x 25GbE SFP28 downlink ports with 6 x 100GbE QSFP28 uplink ports, enabling flexible scaling from access to core network tiers. Advanced Layer 3 routing protocols—including BGP, OSPF, OSPFv3, IS-IS, RIP, and PIM—work alongside VxLAN with EVPN control plane overlay support for modern software-defined networking. Security is embedded through MACsec (802.1AE), access control lists, role-based access control, 802.1X authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and DHCP Snooping. Management spans REST API, gNMI, gRPC telemetry, Aruba Central cloud AIOps, CLI, and SNMP, while VSX active-active redundancy architecture prevents single points of failure. The CX OS operating system powers the entire platform with IPv4/IPv6 routing, Policy-Based Routing, ECMP, and VRF support for enterprise-scale deployments.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- High-density data center core switching with 2.16 Tbps throughput supporting multi-tenant cloud infrastructure
- Spine-and-leaf fabric architectures using 100GbE uplinks for east-west traffic in hyperscale environments
- Edge aggregation with 25GbE downlinks connecting access switches across distributed locations
- Software-defined networking overlays leveraging VxLAN/EVPN for seamless workload mobility
- Mission-critical campuses requiring VSX active-active redundancy and encrypted data plane protection via MACsec

Frequently Asked Questions about Aruba CX 8360 48Y6C v2 Switch JL702C
Does the Aruba CX 8360 48Y6C v2 Switch JL702C support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
