HP JL706A#ACQ 8360-48XT4C 48-Port + 4-Port QSFP28 Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The HP JL706A#ACQ, part of the Aruba 8360 series, is a high-performance Layer 3 switch designed for modern data center and campus network deployments. This switch offers a robust combination of high-density 10GbE/25GbE access ports and high-speed 100GbE uplink ports, making it suitable for demanding aggregation and core network roles. Its architecture is built for non-blocking performance, ensuring that all ports can operate at their maximum throughput simultaneously without contention, which is critical for applications requiring low latency and high bandwidth. The switch features 48 ports that support either 10GbE or 25GbE speeds via SFP+ transceivers, providing flexible connectivity for servers, storage, and other high-performance endpoints. Complementing these are four QSFP28 ports, capable of 100GbE speeds, which are ideal for uplinks to core routers, other aggregation switches, or high-speed storage fabrics. This port configuration allows for scalable network designs that can adapt to evolving bandwidth requirements. As a Layer 3 switch, the JL706A#ACQ supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and VRF-Lite, enabling intelligent traffic management and network segmentation. It is designed to handle complex network topologies and provide robust policy enforcement. The switch is managed through various interfaces, including a command-line interface (CLI), a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and SNMP, offering administrators comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities for their network infrastructure.
