What is the switching capacity of HPE R0X24-61001 chassis?

The Aruba CX 6405 chassis (R0X24-61001) supports up to 28Tbps non-blocking switching capacity and 11.4Bpps throughput with full line card population. Aruba Gen7 ASICs ensure low latency and wire-speed L3 forwarding for BGP, EVPN, VXLAN across high-density 10/25GbE ports in data center aggregation roles.

How many slots does the CX 6405 chassis provide?

Compact 7RU design includes 5 slots for line cards (e.g., R0X38B PoE, R0X41A 10GBASE-T) plus redundant half-width management modules. Supports up to 480x1/2.5/5GbE PoE or 240x10GBASE-T ports with 60W IEEE 802.3bt power per port for IoT-heavy deployments.

What high availability features does it offer?

Industry-leading VSX provides hitless failover with redundant power supplies, fans, and management modules. Front-to-back airflow in rack-mountable 7U enclosure ensures reliability in enterprise core/distribution layers with adaptive power and packet buffering.

Which line cards are compatible with R0X24-61001?

Supports R0X38B/R0X39B (96x1GbE PoE), R0X40B/R0X41A (10GBASE-T), R0X42A-R0X45A (25/40/100GbE modules). Mix-and-match for flexible 1GbE to 100GbE density with future 50GbE transceiver support via software updates.

What PoE capabilities does the chassis provide?

Full IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 (60W/port) and 802.3at PoE+ (30W/port) via line cards like R0X38B. Powers high-power APs, cameras, and IoT devices in campus environments with energy-efficient 802.3az support during low traffic.

Is the CX 6405 suitable for data center top-of-rack?

Yes, with non-blocking 28Tbps fabric, jumbo frames up to 9198 bytes, and low-latency ASICs optimized for east-west traffic. Ideal for server connectivity via 240x10GBASE-T or 25GbE uplinks in scalable aggregation topologies.
