What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate of the HPE JL711A?

The JL711A delivers 2.4Tbps full-duplex switching capacity and 1,145 Mpps forwarding rate across 24x 10/25GbE ports and 2x 40/100GbE uplinks. This non-blocking design supports simultaneous wire-speed L3 routing, EVPN/VXLAN, and ACL processing for data center aggregation.

What port configuration does the Aruba JL711A bundle include?

JL711A bundles 24x SFP28 ports (1/10/25GbE), 2x QSFP28 ports (40/100GbE with 4x10/25G breakout), plus 1x OOBM, USB console, and USB aux. Includes 3x JL715A fans for power-to-port airflow and 2x hot-swap PSUs.

Is the JL711A suitable for data center spine-leaf deployments?

Yes, with 2.4Tbps capacity, 100GbE uplinks, and ArubaOS-CX VXLAN support, it excels in leaf-spine fabrics. Handles 7,000 IPv4 routes, PIM multicast, and low-latency forwarding for hyperscale east-west traffic patterns.

What management features does ArubaOS-CX provide on JL711A?

ArubaOS-CX offers database-driven ops with REST APIs, gNMI telemetry, hitless ISSU, and event-driven automation. Enables zero-touch provisioning, dynamic segmentation, and real-time analytics for proactive network management in large-scale deployments.

What airflow and power redundancy in JL711A bundle?

Power-to-port (front-to-back) airflow via 3x hot-swap JL715A fans. Includes 2x field-replaceable PSUs (e.g., JL712A 850W AC) for N+1 redundancy, compliant with EN62368-1 safety and Class A EMC standards.

Does JL711A support 50GbE or future upgrades?

50GbE transceiver support enabled via future ArubaOS-CX releases. Current 25/100GbE scales to 2.4Tbps; QSFP28 ports break out to 4x25G for flexible migration to higher speeds without hardware changes.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba JL711A is a bundle of the CX 8360v2 Switch Series, designed for next-generation core and aggregation in data centers and campuses. It provides 24x 10/25GbE SFP28 downlinks for high-density server connectivity and 2x 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplinks supporting breakout to 4x10/25G. With 2.4Tbps full-duplex switching capacity and 1,145 Mpps forwarding rate, it handles demanding east-west traffic non-blockingly. Power-to-port airflow ensures optimal cooling in standard rack environments, including 2x hot-swappable AC power supplies and 3x hot-swappable fans. Running ArubaOS-CX, a database-driven OS, it offers REST APIs, real-time telemetry, and hitless ISSU for zero-downtime upgrades. Advanced features include EVPN/VXLAN for overlay fabrics, dynamic segmentation, and up to 7,000 IPv4/IPv6 routes. Ideal for scalable, secure deployments in virtualized data centers, hyperscale clouds, and enterprise campuses requiring low-latency, high-throughput Layer 3 routing.
