Description
The HPE Aruba JL858A CX 8325-48Y8C Switch is a high-performance Layer 3 switch. It is part of the Aruba CX 8325 series and is built for modern data center networks.
The switch offers 48 × 1/10/25G SFP28 ports. These ports provide high-density connectivity for servers and storage. It also includes 8 × 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports for fast backbone connections.
This model is designed for spine-leaf architectures. It can operate as a leaf, aggregation, or core switch. This flexibility supports different network designs.
The JL858A runs on the Aruba AOS-CX operating system. It supports key Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including VLAN, QoS, IPv4/IPv6 routing, BGP, OSPF, VRF, VXLAN, and EVPN. These features improve scalability and traffic control.
The switch includes dual DC power supplies for redundancy. It also uses back-to-front airflow cooling with hot-swappable fans. This ensures stable performance in demanding environments.
With high switching capacity and low latency, the JL858A is ideal for cloud, enterprise, and high-performance data center deployments.
