What is the switching capacity and throughput of HPE R0X26-61001?

The Aruba 6405 chassis delivers 14 Tbps routing/switching capacity and 10 Bpps throughput, supporting non-blocking performance with up to 2000 VLANs, 64000 IPv4/IPv6 unicast entries, and 8000 multicast routes. This scales for high-density 100GbE deployments in core/aggregation layers.

Which line cards are compatible with the 6405 chassis?

Supports R0X38B, R0X39B, R0X40B, R0X41A, R0X42A, R0X43A, R0X44A/C, R0X45A/C modules for 1/10/25/40/50/100GbE, Smart Rate multi-gig (1/2.5/5GbE), and 60W PoE ports. Up to 5 line cards plus 1 management module (R0X31A) in 7 slots total.

Does the Aruba 6405 support high availability features?

Yes, industry-leading VSX provides active-active redundancy with hitless failover, dual management modules, redundant PSUs (R0X35A/36A, up to 4), and 2 fan trays. Front-to-back airflow ensures reliability in 7U racks for mission-critical environments.

What management interfaces are on the R0X26-61001 chassis?

Includes 1x RJ-45 console, 1x USB-C console, 1x OOBM port, 1x USB Type A host, and Bluetooth dongle for CX Mobile App. Protocols: SNMPv1-3, SSHv2, RADIUS, TACACS+, IPv4/IPv6 with MD5/SSL encryption.

Is PoE supported and what standards?

Yes, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt up to 60W per port via compatible line cards. PoE budget depends on power supplies, modules, and fans; order R0X35A/36A PSUs separately for full capacity.

What physical dimensions and mounting options?

17.5 x 17.7 x 12.1 inches (44.26 x 44.85 x 30.66 cm), 64.7 lbs (29.3 kg). Includes 2-post rack kit, cable management; 4-post kit separate. Rack-mountable 7U enclosure.
