About the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switch (54-port variant)
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switch delivers 9.6 Tbps of switching capacity with a forwarding rate of up to 3.6 Bpps, enabling line-rate performance for demanding data center and campus environments. This 54-port, 1U rack-mountable platform (part number JL822A) combines high-density 100GbE connectivity with ultrafast 400GbE uplink capacity, making it ideal for network engineers and infrastructure teams architecting next-generation networks that demand both scale and distributed intelligence.
Built by HP (HPE Aruba Networking), the CX 10000 integrates an AMD Pensando DPU (Data Processing Unit) to offload stateful distributed services, including up to 3 Tbps of stateful firewall throughput, without impacting forwarding performance. The switch runs AOS-CX and supports comprehensive automation via REST API, Python scripting, Aruba Fabric Composer, OpenConfig, and gNMI protocols. Network architects benefit from support for BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, static routing, and overlay networking via VXLAN with BGP EVPN control plane. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and fan modules with flexible intake/exhaust options ensure high availability, while the included EIA-310 standard 19-inch rack-mount kit simplifies deployment. The out-of-band management port (RJ-45), USB-A, and Micro-USB console provide flexible management access. For IT procurement teams evaluating enterprise-grade switches that consolidate routing, switching, and security fabric capabilities, the HP JL822A represents a converged platform that scales performance without operational complexity.
