What PoE standard does the S0U62A module support?

Supports IEEE 802.3bt Class4 PoE delivering up to 60W per port across all 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, with backward compatibility to 802.3at/af. Includes Always-On PoE to maintain device power during switch reboots or firmware upgrades.

Which chassis is compatible with this module?

Designed exclusively for HPE Aruba CX 5420 6-slot 4RU modular chassis (S0U59A). Supports up to 6 half-width line cards with redundant management modules and hot-swappable PSUs for N+1 high availability.

What Layer 3 routing protocols are supported?

Full L3 routing suite including BGP, OSPF, PIM for multicast, VRRP, static IPv4/IPv6 routing, and ECNP. Hardware-accelerated forwarding at wire-speed across 960Gbps chassis capacity with 714 Mpps throughput.

How is the module managed?

Runs AOS-CX operating system with Aruba Central cloud management, web GUI, CLI, SNMPv3, and NAE for real-time analytics. Supports REST APIs and Aruba Switch Multi-Edit for simplified multi-device configuration.

What high availability features are included?

HPE Aruba VSX Virtual Switching Extension provides hitless failover, synchronized state across redundant chassis, and Live Upgrade for non-disruptive firmware deployment. Includes MACsec encryption and Dynamic Segmentation.

What is the performance of the CX 5420 platform?

Gen7 ASICs deliver up to 960Gbps switching capacity, 714 Mpps forwarding rate, and sub-1 microsecond latency for 64-byte packets. Features large packet buffers and adaptive power management for microburst handling.
