What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate?

The switch delivers 4.8 Tbps switching capacity and 2,678 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring line-rate performance. It supports 65,536 MAC addresses, 65,536 IPv4 routes, 16,384 IPv6 routes, and ACLs up to 8,192 IPv4 ingress for scalable Layer 3 operations.

Does it support MACsec encryption?

Yes, 4x 25G SFP28 ports and 2x 100G QSFP28 ports include MACsec for secure connectivity over untrusted domains. This hardware-based encryption protects data in transit without performance impact in core/aggregation layers.

What power and cooling options are included?

Bundle includes 2x hot-swappable AC power supplies (JL713A), max 725W consumption, 230W idle. 5x fan trays with back-to-front airflow in a 1U chassis ensure redundancy and efficient cooling for continuous operation.

What management features are available?

Supports HPE Aruba Networking Central licensing for cloud-based management. The modular Layer 3 stackable design integrates with AOS-CX for automation, analytics, and zero-downtime upgrades in enterprise networks.

What is the form factor and dimensions?

1U rack-mountable with 44.25 cm (17.4 in) width, back-to-front airflow. Ideal for dense datacenter racks, with hot-swappable components minimizing service interruptions during deployment or maintenance.
