Features and benefits
Product architecture
• ArubaOS-CX.
- Modular, Linux based and built with OVSDB to support a database-centric operating system.
- Distributed architecture with separation of data and control planes.
- Includes independent monitoring and restart of individual software modules, and enhanced software process
serviceability functions.
- Allows individual software modules to be upgraded for higher availability..
• Network Analytics Engine
A first of a kind built-in framework for monitoring, troubleshooting and capacity plannin
Performance
• High-speed fully distributed architecture
Provides 6.4Tbps for switching and 2,000MPPS for forwarding. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the
demands of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.
• Scalable system design
Provides investment protection to support future technologies and higher-speed connectivity
Connec
tivity
• High-density port connectivity
Choice of compact 1U switches include a model with 32 ports of 40G/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) and a model with 48
ports of 1G/10G/25GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) and 6 ports of 40G/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) SFP+ ports support an
optional 10GBASE-T Transceiver.
• Jumbo frames
Allows high-performance backups and disaster-recovery systems; provides a maximum frame size of 9K bytes
• Loopback
Supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects
against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per- VLAN basis for added
flexibility
• Flexible port selection
Provides connectivity for 10GbE (SFP/SFP+, 10GBASE-T) and 40GbE (QSFP+)
• Packet storm protection
Protects against unknown broadcast, unknown multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Powerful QoS feature
Supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing and weighted fair queuing
