Frequently asked questions

What is the total switching capacity of the Aruba 8360-16Y2C?

The 8360-16Y2C delivers full-duplex non-blocking switching with 16x 25GbE SFP28 ports (400Gbps aggregate) plus 2x QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40/100GbE. Total fabric capacity supports wire-speed forwarding across all ports simultaneously without oversubscription, enabling low-latency data center deployments.

Does this switch support Layer 3 routing and advanced features?

Yes. The 8360-16Y2C is a fully managed Layer 3 switch running HPE's AOS-CX operating system, supporting dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), VLAN segmentation, QoS policies, access control lists (ACLs), and multicast. It also supports OpenFlow for SDN integration and programmable networking use cases.

What are the port specifications and uplink options?

The switch features 16x SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25 Gigabit Ethernet auto-negotiation, plus 2x QSFP28 uplink ports capable of 40/100GbE connectivity. This configuration provides flexible port density for access-layer deployments with high-speed backbone uplinks to core infrastructure.

Is the 8360-16Y2C suitable for virtualized and cloud environments?

Yes. The switch supports modern virtualization and cloud architectures through advanced features including VXLAN, EVPN, and SDN capabilities via AOS-CX. Its non-blocking architecture and low-latency design make it ideal for hyperscale cloud deployments and software-defined data center environments.

What is the physical form factor and power requirements?

The 8360-16Y2C is a 1U rack-mountable switch with back-to-front airflow design, fitting standard 19-inch data center racks. Exact power consumption specifications require manufacturer datasheet review; typical enterprise 25GbE switches in this class consume 300-500W under full load.

How does this switch compare to other 25GbE access switches?

The 8360-16Y2C offers dense 25GbE port density (16 ports) in a compact 1U form factor with Layer 3 routing capabilities, making it suitable for both access and aggregation roles. The dual QSFP28 uplinks provide flexible scaling to 40/100GbE core infrastructure without requiring separate uplink modules.
