Description

HPE 8360-48XT4CV2 Ethernet Switch

The HPE Aruba CX 8360-48XT4CV2 Ethernet Switch is engineered to meet the demands of modern networks that blend mobile users, cloud applications, and IoT devices. As a cornerstone for next-generation campus cores and high-density aggregation, this switch combines flexible port configurations, intelligent fabric technology, and a security-first approach to simplify operations while accelerating digital transformation. Built on the Aruba CX operating system, the 8360 v2 delivers scalable performance, streamlined provisioning, and proactive insights that help networks stay responsive in a mobile-first world. If your organization is migrating toward a centralized fabric with automated policy enforcement, the 8360-48XT4CV2 provides the reliability, efficiency, and adaptability required for growth across campus, data center, and edge deployments.

  • High-density, future-ready design: 48 ports in a compact 1U form factor provides excellent space efficiency for crowded data centers and busy campus cores, enabling you to consolidate spine-and-leaf or collapsed-core topologies without compromising performance.
  • Flexible, multi-speed uplinks: Supports a range of uplink speeds and module options to match evolving network requirements, including 25G/40G/100G connectivity for uplinks and aggregation, making it easier to scale bandwidth as your workloads shift from on-prem to hybrid cloud.
  • AI-driven, policy-based automation: Aruba CX OS brings fabric-based automation, telemetry, and intelligent analytics that simplify provisioning, ongoing management, and issue remediation, helping operators correlate events, optimize paths, and enforce consistent policies across the network.
  • Security that scales with your workforce: Dynamic segmentation, robust access control, and policy-driven micro-segmentation help protect devices and users as they move across the campus and into cloud resources, while 802.1X and other standards support secure onboarding.
  • Reliability, efficiency, and lifecycle management: Redundant power options, proven reliability in 24x7 environments, and centralized management with Aruba Central or on-premises tools simplify upgrades, monitoring, and long-term maintenance.

How to install HPE 8360-48XT4CV2 Ethernet Switch

  • Step 1: Plan your topology. Define the switch’s role in the network (core, aggregation, or edge) and confirm management method (Aruba Central vs. on-premises).
  • Step 2: Prepare the rack. Install the 1U chassis in a ventilated 19-inch rack, secure mounting ears, and ensure adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
  • Step 3: Connect power. Attach redundant power supplies if available and verify that power cords are securely seated. Power on the unit and confirm initial boot indicators.
  • Step 4: Establish network connectivity. Attach uplinks and access ports to the intended fabrics and devices using appropriate cable types and transceivers per your topology plan.
  • Step 5: Access the switch. Use the console port, web UI, or CLI to access initial configuration. Update firmware if needed and set up base network parameters such as management IP, VLANs, and basic routing or switching policies.
  • Step 6: Configure security and policies. Implement role-based access, ACLs, and dynamic segmentation rules to protect the fabric. Integrate with Aruba Central for centralized policy enforcement and monitoring.
  • Step 7: Validate operation. Verify connectivity between core and aggregate devices, test failover scenarios, and run baseline performance checks to ensure traffic is flowing as expected.
  • Step 8: Document and monitor. Save configurations, document the network design, and enable telemetry and alerting to monitor health, utilization, and security events over time.
