- High-performance modular Layer 3 switches with BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, and OSPF with robust security, MACsec encryption, and QoS while delivering up to 28 Tbps in non-blockling bandwidth.:
- High availability with industry-leading VSX and redundant power supplies and fans.:
- Full density HPE Smart Rate (1/2.5/5GbE) multi-gigabit, 60W PoE, and SFP+ modules.:
- High-speed, non-blocking 1GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE with intelligent monitoring, visibility and remediation with the Network Analytics Engine:
- Manage via single pane of glass with HPE Aruba Networking Central across wired, wireless, and WAN.:
- Dynamic Segmentation enables enhanced security and simple access for users and IoT.:
- Automation and Analytics: The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6400 Switch Series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to help fix problems faster. The Network Analytics Engine automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact network health. | Advanced telemetry and automation provide the ability to easily identify and troubleshoot network, system, application, and security-related issues easily, through the use of Python agents and REST APIs. | The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues.
- High Availability and Performance: The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6400 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with Gen7 ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications. | Features high speed, non-blocking 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE for scalable connectivity. | The ability to maintain a synchronous state across dual control planes allows a simplified carrier-class high-availability solution called HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) that enables a distributed architecture, which is available during upgrades or control plane events. | High performance and versatile platform supports non-blocking 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE connections, and high density connectivity for aggregation with up to 480 ports of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5GbE) with 60W PoE for a total of 28,880W of PoE.
- Smarter Segmentation: The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6400 Switch Series supports Dynamic Segmentation that automatically applies and enforces user, device, and application-aware policies on HPE Aruba Networking wired and wireless infrastructures. | Automated device profiling, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike. | Switch-to-switch tunnels enable scalable multi-tenancy support with VXLAN to VRF mapping, while allowing policy application via user roles.
