Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000-48Y6C Switch (S0F97A#ABA) is a next-gen Layer 3 data center switch combining Aruba’s robust AOS-CX operating system with the programmable power of the AMD Pensando DPU. This 1U switch offers 48 x 1/10/25GbE SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports and 6 x 40/100GbE QSFP+/QSFP28 uplinks, delivering 3.6 Tbps line-rate switching capacity. Designed to bring stateful firewalling, NAT, encryption, and telemetry directly to the network edge, this TAA-compliant, rack-mountable switch delivers software-defined services inline and at scale—perfect for data center edge, ToR, and aggregation layer deployments.
The CX 10000 Series enables distributed security and telemetry for east-west traffic and reduces complexity and TCO versus traditional firewall solutions. Built on the programmable AOS-CX OS, it includes foundational enterprise features and supports optional CX Advanced and Premium licenses for enhanced capabilities including IPSec VPN and dynamic segmentation.
