What is the switching capacity of the HPE JL375A CX 8400 chassis?

The JL375A provides 19.2 Tbps full-duplex switching capacity (1.2 Tbps/slot) and 7.142 BPPS throughput. All switching/routing occurs in line modules for non-blocking performance across high-density 10/25/40/100GbE ports, ideal for data center spine or campus core handling bandwidth-intensive workloads.

What high availability features does the JL375A offer?

Carrier-class HA includes Virtual Switching Extension (VSX), redundant management modules, fabric, power supplies (N+1 to N+N), and fans. Requires only two PSUs for full population; adding two more enables full redundancy, ensuring zero-downtime operation in mission-critical environments.

Which line modules are compatible with JL375A?

Supports up to 8 modules: JL363A (32x10GbE MACsec), JL364A (32x25GbE), JL365A (8x40GbE QSFP+), JL366A (6x40/100GbE QSFP28), JL367A (7.2Tbps fabric). Max 12x JL563A 10GBASE-T transceivers per JL363A due to thermal limits.

How does AOS-CX enhance JL375A management?

AOS-CX features built-in REST APIs, Python scripting, NetEdit for config verification, CX Mobile App one-touch deployment, and Network Analytics Engine for monitoring/remediation. Enables programmable, zero-touch provisioning in large-scale data center deployments.

What form factor and bundling does JL375A include?

Compact 8U chassis bundle with 3x fan trays (18 fans), base cable manager, and X462 2-post rack kit. Height 13.8 inches, weight 76 lbs, designed for standard 19-inch racks in data centers.

Is the JL375A suitable for leaf/spine architectures?

Yes, with dynamic VXLAN BGP-EVPN for L2/L3 segmentation, line-rate 100GbE, and scalable design. Supports up to 4094 VLANs, LACP (128 groups), STP loop prevention, making it ideal for modern clos fabrics.
