HPE Aruba 8320 - Switch - L3 - Managed - 48 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ + 6 x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ - rack-mountable - TAA Compliant - with 2 x Aruba X371 400W AC Power Supply, 5 x Aruba X721 Front-to-Back Fan, Aruba X472 2-post Rack Kit

The 8320 provides advanced line rate 10GbE/40GbE in a compact 1U form factor. The 8320 is based on the ArubaOS-CX, a modern software system for the enterprise core that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks, delivers enhanced fault tolerance and facilitates zero-service disruption during planned or unplanned control-plane events. The Network Analytics Engine framework is made up of a time series database and associated REST APIs.

• High performance
• High availability with redundant power and fans
• ArubaOS-CX enables automation and programmability using built-in REST APIs and Python scripts
• Intelligent monitoring and visibility with Aruba Network Analytics Engine
• Advanced Layer 2/3 feature set includes BGP, OSPF, VRF, and IPv6
• Multi-chassis link aggregation

• High-density port connectivity
  Comes with 48 ports of 10G to support SFP and SFP+ transceivers, and 6 ports of 40G to support QSFP+ transceivers.
• 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 a combination of fiber and copper transceiver to support 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T copper solution.
• Packet storm protection
  Protects against unknown broadcast, unknown multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds.
• Redundant and load-sharing fans, and power supplies
  Increases total performance and power availability while providing hitless, stateful failover.
• All hot-swappable modules
  Allows replacement of modules without any impact on other modules.
• Separate data and control paths
  Separates control from services and keeps service processing isolated; increases security and performance.
• VRRP
  Allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments.
• Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)
  Monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks.
