Aruba Networking CX 5420 20p 10M/100M/1G Class4 PoE 4p SFP+ 1G/10G LRM Module

Introduction

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 Switch Series is an intelligent, flexible and modular Layer 3 switch chassis created for today's enterprise small and medium campus, branch enterprise networks with built-in MACsec hardware capability, analytics and automation. CX 5420 switch chassis is part of the CX switching portfolio that provides an enterprise-class access layer solution that is easy-to-deploy, simple, secure and resilient. By combining a modern, fully programmable OS with HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE), the CX 5420 Series provides industry leading monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities across the network. A powerful Gen7 ASIC architecture delivers performance and extensive feature support with flexible programmability for the tomorrow applications. This advanced modular 4U chassis switch offers up to 960Gbps with low latency, 6 half-width line card slots, VSX Live Upgrade, and HPE Smart Rate 10GbE up to 90W Class-8 PoE with BGP/OSFP/PIM support.

What is new supporting point:
Powerful, modular, intelligent Layer 3 switch chassis with BGP, VSX, and OSPF with robust quality of service (QoS).
Flexibility with 6 half-width modules that allow growth when needed and support for port diversity in a condensed 4RU chassis with redundant MM and PSU.
High performance switching with up to 960 Gbps using 714 Mpps, built-in high availability with HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) Live Upgrade and Always-On PoE.
Simplified operations with the common HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX) used across the CX portfolio delivering a more consistent, more efficient operator experience.
Easy to manage and simplify configurations with HPE Aruba Networking Central, HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software, with easy-to-use web GUI or industry-standard CLI.
Automated, unified role-based policies for users, Internet of Things (IoT) and devices with HPE Aruba Networking Dynamic Segmentation and intelligent monitoring, visibility, and remediation with NAE.
