About the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switch (Gen2 ASIC)
Delivering up to 12.8 Tbps switching capacity and 4.8 Bpps forwarding rate, the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series Switch (Gen2 ASIC) is engineered for line-rate performance in the most demanding data center environments. This 1U rack-mount platform combines 48 fixed 100GbE QSFP28 ports with 8 fixed 400GbE QSFP-DD uplink ports, offering a dense, high-speed fabric ideal for enterprises seeking zero-latency interconnect. The integrated AMD Pensando Elba SoC Data Processing Unit delivers in-path, hardware-accelerated stateful services, including a stateful firewall and microsegmentation capabilities enforced directly in the data path—eliminating the performance penalties typical of software-based security.
Network engineers and infrastructure teams will appreciate the operational flexibility built into the CX 10000 Series. HPE AOS-CX operating system supports industry-standard routing protocols—BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, PIM multicast, and static routing—alongside VXLAN with BGP-EVPN control plane overlays. Management is streamlined through REST API, gRPC/gNMI streaming telemetry, Zero Touch Provisioning, SNMP, and CLI interfaces. The platform supports VSX active-active chassis virtualization without dedicated stacking cables, while dual hot-swappable redundant power supplies and hot-swappable fans ensure continuous availability. Security is reinforced with MACsec, Role-Based Access Control, and Control Plane Policing across IEEE 802.1 standards compliance (802.1Q, 802.1ax, 802.1AE, and 802.1AB). Part number JL898A ships ready for immediate deployment.
Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- High-speed data center core and aggregation layers requiring sustained 12.8 Tbps throughput
- Zero-trust network architectures leveraging in-path hardware-accelerated stateful firewall and microsegmentation
- EVPN-based overlay networks and multi-tenant cloud infrastructure environments
- Organizations requiring active-active redundancy via VSX without external stacking infrastructure
- Telemetry-driven operations using gNMI streaming and the Network Analytics Engine
