The Aruba CX 6400 Switch Series is a modern, flexible, and intelligent family of AOS-CX modular switches ideal for enterprise campus and data center deployments. With a cloud-centric design that combines a fully programmable OS with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine, the Aruba CX 6400 extends industry-leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities across the network.Powerful Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers fast, non-blocking performance, meaning your network is ready for tomorrow"s unpredictable demands. Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) brings high availability and enables non-disruptive fast upgrades with simplified management. Support of Aruba NetEdit and the Aruba CX Mobile App verify configurations are flawless and easy to deploy. This series offers 5 and 10 slot compact chassis with a choice of line rate interfaces including 25GbE, 100GbE, and full density 60W PoE with HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit Ethernet ideal for access, aggregation, and core deployments.
Automation and analytics:
The Aruba CX 6400 Switch Series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to help fix problems faster. The Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact network health. Advanced telemetry and automation provide the ability to easily identify and troubleshoot network, system, application, and security related issues easily, through the use of Python agents and REST APIs. The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues.
High availability and performance:
The Aruba CX 6400 Switch Series uses a fully distributed architecture with Aruba Gen7 ASICs that deliver very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications. The ability of AOS-CX to maintain synchronous state across dual control planes allows a simplified carrier-class high-availability solution called Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) that enables a distributed architecture which is available during upgrades or control plane events.
Smarter segmentation:
The Aruba CX 6400 Switch Series supports Aruba Dynamic Segmentation that automatically applies and enforces user, device, and application-aware policies on Aruba wired and wireless infrastructures. Automated device profiling, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike. Switch-to-switch tunnels enable scalable multi-tenancy support with VXLAN to VRF mapping, while allowing policy application via user roles.
