What is the maximum switching capacity of HPE Aruba 6405 chassis?

The R0X24A#ABA chassis supports up to 14Tbps switching capacity and 5.7Bpps throughput when fully populated with line cards. This non-blocking architecture handles wire-speed 100GbE traffic across 5 slots, ideal for data center fabrics requiring low-latency east-west flows.

Which line cards are compatible with this chassis?

Compatible modules include R0X38B, R0X39B, R0X40B, R0X41A, R0X42A, R0X43A, R0X44A, R0X45A, R0X44C, R0X45C for 1GbE to 100GbE ports, multi-gig PoE, and Smart Rate. Mix-and-match flexibility supports evolving 10/25/40/50/100GbE needs.

Does it support power redundancy and PoE?

Up to 4 modular PSUs (R0X35A/R0X36A) provide N+1 redundancy. PoE up to 60W IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 per port on supported modules, enabling IoT/AP deployments with 30W 802.3at and legacy 802.3af compatibility.

What advanced features does it offer for data centers?

Features VSX for MLAG, EVPN/VXLAN overlays, 2000 SVIs, 8000 multicast routes, sFlow, PIM, BFD, and QoS with SP/DWRR. Large TCAM supports 5000 IPv4 ACLs ingress for security in spine/leaf topologies.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?

7U chassis measures 17.5x17.7x12.1 inches (44.26x44.85x30.66 cm), weighs 64.7 lbs (29.3 kg). Includes 2-post rack kit; 4-post optional. Front-serviceable PSUs/fans with cable management.

What management interfaces are provided?

1x RJ-45 console, 1x USB-C console, 1x OOBM, 1x USB-A host, Bluetooth dongle for CX Mobile App. Dual management module slots for high availability control plane.
