What port configuration does the HPE JL708C provide?

JL708C features 12x 40/100GbE QSFP+/QSFP28 ports in a 1U front-to-back bundle, supporting breakout to 4x25G or 4x10G per port for flexible connectivity. Includes 3 fans and 2 AC power supplies (JL600A) for data center core deployments.

What is the switching capacity of the Aruba CX 8360-12C v2?

Delivers line-rate full-duplex 100GbE across all 12 ports with non-blocking architecture, optimized for 2.4Tbps aggregate throughput in spine/aggregation roles. Supports wire-speed forwarding with low latency for high-density east-west traffic.

Does JL708C support high availability features?

Yes, Aruba CX OS uses microservices with VSX for virtual stacking, hitless failover, and state synchronization. Includes hot-swappable PSUs/fans, ISSU upgrades, and real-time telemetry via gNMI for proactive monitoring in mission-critical environments.

What management capabilities are available?

RJ45/USB-C console, Ethernet management port, USB-A. Aruba CX OS provides NETCONF/YANG, REST APIs, gRPC telemetry, and Central cloud management for automation, anomaly detection, and capacity planning in large-scale deployments.

Is the JL708C suitable for cloud and virtualization?

Optimized for cloud with EVPN/VXLAN overlay support, MPLS/GRE tunneling, and ECMP up to 7,000 routes. Microsegmentation, dynamic segmentation, and 100GbE scale fabrics enable multi-tenant virtualization at wire speed.

What compliance standards does it meet?

CE Mark (EMC/Safety), RoHS EN 63000:2018, EN62368-1 safety, EN55032 Class A EMC, FCC Part 15 Class A, VCCI Class A, laser Class 1. Rack-mountable in 19-inch EIA cabinets with 2/4-post options.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360-12C v2 Switch (JL708C) is a high-density 1U modular switch bundle designed for next-generation data center core and aggregation layers. It features 12 ports of 40/100GbE QSFP+/QSFP28 delivering line-rate performance with full-duplex switching capacity optimized for east-west traffic in hyperscale environments. The front-to-back airflow configuration includes 3 fans (JL714A or equivalent) and 2 hot-swappable AC power supplies (JL600A) for reliable operation under heavy loads. Powered by Aruba CX OS running as microservices, it provides advanced programmability, real-time telemetry via gNMI/gRPC, and VSX for hitless failover. Key benefits include non-blocking architecture supporting 100GbE wire-speed across all ports, deep buffers for bursty traffic, and EVPN/VXLAN for overlay fabrics. Ideal for campuses, clouds, and service providers needing secure, scalable networking with RoHS compliance, Class A EMC, and rack-mount flexibility (2/4-post).
