ADVANCED FEATURES:

High-Speed Layer 2/3 Switching:

The CX8320-48P delivers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, supporting 802.1Q VLANs and spanning tree protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP) to prevent loops and ensure network stability. Link Aggregation (LACP) provides uplink redundancy, while Quality of Service (QoS) intelligently prioritizes traffic for voice, video, and mission-critical applications. IGMP Snooping optimizes multicast traffic for efficient bandwidth usage in video streaming, IP surveillance, and conferencing scenarios.

Enterprise-Grade Security:

Comprehensive security features safeguard network traffic and management access. MACsec-ready ports provide Layer 2 encryption, while Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enforce policy-based permissions. Additional protections include 802.1X authentication, DHCP Snooping, and Dynamic ARP Inspection, ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network and preventing ARP spoofing attacks. RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication provide secure and centralized access control.

Simplified Management & Automation:

Administrators can efficiently manage the CX8320-48P via Aruba Central, CLI, Web GUI, or SNMP. Automation is supported through REST APIs, Python scripting, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), enabling rapid deployment, configuration, and monitoring. The Network Analytics Engine (NAE) delivers real-time telemetry, providing actionable insights into network performance, traffic patterns, and potential issues, allowing proactive troubleshooting before problems impact operations.

Resilient and Energy-Efficient Design:

The CX8320-48P includes dual hot-swappable AC power supplies and five redundant hot-swappable fans, ensuring high availability and continuous operation. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology reduces power consumption during low traffic periods without compromising performance. The switch is designed for enterprise-grade reliability and long-term operational efficiency.

Scalable Enterprise Architecture:

Designed for aggregation and high-density access networks, the CX8320-48P supports 48 × 10GbE SFP ports with 6 × 40GbE QSFP uplinks, providing flexible connectivity and high throughput. Its scalable architecture integrates seamlessly with Aruba’s CX enterprise network portfolio, supporting modern campus, data center, and large branch deployments. The switch allows future expansion while maintaining performance, security, and manageability across growing network infrastructures.

Advanced Routing and Network Services:

Supports static and dynamic routing protocols, including OSPF and BGP, for flexible Layer 3 network design. The switch enables fast convergence, traffic engineering, and efficient inter-VLAN routing. Combined with QoS and MACsec-ready encryption, it ensures secure, reliable, and predictable traffic delivery across the enterprise network.

Enhanced Monitoring and Telemetry:

Built-in telemetry and monitoring tools allow administrators to track traffic flows, packet drops, latency, and interface health in real time. Programmable analytics and SNMP monitoring provide deep visibility into network operations, enabling proactive capacity planning, anomaly detection, and SLA assurance for critical business applications.
