About the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switch (48-port 25G)

L2/L3 routing with BGP, OSPF, and IS-IS support — combined with EVPN-VXLAN overlay capabilities — determines this switch's role as a distributed services fabric anchor. The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switch (part number R9F22A) is a 1U rack-mount platform built around a distributed services architecture with integrated AMD Pensando DPU acceleration. It delivers 48 downlink ports of 25GbE SFP28 connectivity paired with 8 uplink ports of 100GbE QSFP28, providing the density and speed required for modern data centre and campus fabric deployments. Running AOS-CX as its network operating system, this HPE platform supports stateful distributed firewall enforcement, microsegmentation, and hardware-enforced ACLs — all offloaded to the Pensando DPU for deterministic, low-latency policy application. Per-flow streaming telemetry and Network Analytics Engine integration enable real-time visibility into traffic patterns and application behaviour.

Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams responsible for fabric modernization, Zero Trust security implementation, and automated cloud-ready networks choose this switch to consolidate routing, switching, and security functions. The distributed architecture reduces operational bottlenecks while the support for static routing, dynamic protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS), and standards-based overlay protocols (RFC 7432 BGP EVPN) ensures seamless integration into heterogeneous environments. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules guarantee continuous uptime, while flexible airflow options — front-to-rear and rear-to-front — accommodate varied rack configurations. REST API, gRPC, SNMP, CLI, and HPE Aruba Central cloud management interfaces provide multiple automation and monitoring pathways for both on-premises and hybrid operations.
