The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6405 v2 Switch (R0X26C) is a modern, flexible, and intelligent modular Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise campus and data center deployments. It is part of the Aruba CX 6400 Switch Series, which features a cloud-centric design with a fully programmable AOS-CX operating system and the Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for advanced monitoring and troubleshooting. This particular part number, R0X26C, refers to the 5-slot chassis configuration and typically includes one Management Module (R0X31A) and two fan trays (R0X32A). It provides a highly available and scalable platform with support for a wide range of line cards (sold separately) to enable 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connectivity, including high-density HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5GbE) with 60W PoE. The switch supports advanced routing protocols like BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, and OSPF, along with robust security features such as MACsec encryption and QoS. Its distributed architecture with Gen7 ASICs ensures low latency and non-blocking performance.
