Description

The HPE Aruba R9F65A CX 8325-48Y8C Switch is a high-performance Layer 3 switch. It is part of the Aruba CX 8325 series and is designed for modern data center and enterprise networks.

The switch provides 48 × 1/10/25G SFP28 ports. These ports deliver high-density connectivity for servers and storage. It also includes 8 × 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports for fast backbone connections.

This model is built for spine-leaf architectures. It can operate as a leaf, aggregation, or core switch. This flexibility supports scalable and high-performance network designs.

The R9F65A runs on the Aruba AOS-CX operating system. It supports key Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, such as VLAN, QoS, IPv4/IPv6 routing, BGP, OSPF, and VRF. These features improve scalability and traffic control.

The switch delivers up to 6.4 Tbps switching capacity with high forwarding performance. It is designed to handle demanding workloads with low latency.

From a hardware perspective, the device includes dual hot-swappable power supplies and multiple fan modules. It supports front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, depending on deployment requirements.

The R9F65A is ideal for data centers, cloud environments, and enterprise core deployments that require high throughput, reliability, and scalability.
