What is the switching capacity and throughput of the HPE Aruba R0X27C CX 6410 v2 Switch?

The CX 6410 v2 provides up to 28 Tbps switching capacity and 20 Bpps throughput in a 10-slot chassis with 2.8Tb fabric per slot. Quad-core ARM Cortex A72 at 1.8GHz and 16GB DDR4 ECC memory enable non-blocking performance for high-density 100GbE uplinks and multi-gig PoE access.

What high availability features does the R0X27C offer?

Industry-leading VSX redundancy, N+1 hot-swappable power supplies (up to 4 slots), and redundant fan trays ensure maximum uptime. Supports multi-chassis clustering for seamless failover in core/aggregation roles without traffic disruption.

Which routing protocols are supported on this modular switch?

Advanced Layer 3 features include BGP, OSPF, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, and multicast routing. Large TCAM sizes handle mobility/IoT with thousands of clients, plus selectable queue configs for optimized buffering in bandwidth-intensive apps.

What port and module options are available for the CX 6410 v2 chassis?

10 I/O slots support full-density HPE Smart Rate 1/2.5/5GbE with 60W PoE (up to 480 ports, 28,880W total), plus non-blocking 1/10/25/40/50/100GbE modules. Compatible with R0X38C-R0X45A I/O modules for flexible deployments.

Is the R0X27C suitable for data center top-of-rack or spine roles?

Yes, with 28Tbps fabric, 100GbE uplinks, and VSX, it's ideal for ToR/access aggregation up to 240x10GBASE-T or spine in leaf-spine fabrics. Intelligent monitoring provides real-time visibility for remediation in dynamic environments.

What management interfaces does the switch provide?

CLI, Web GUI, SNMP v2c/v3, RMON, sFlow (RFC 3176). Includes 1x RJ-45 console, 1x USB-C console, 1x USB-A, 1x RJ-45 management port for comprehensive network management and monitoring.
