About the Aruba CX 5420

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.

Features

Maximize your HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 Switch Series

What's New

  • 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.

Future-ready with Superior Performance

  • The HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 Switch Series use the latest Gen7 ASICs, delivering very low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. All switching and routing are wire-speed to meet the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future.
  • The CX 5420 switch is a compact 6 slot (4 RU) supporting a choice of line cards and redundant, half-width management modules that seamlessly supports Wi-Fi 6 and IoT with Smart Rate multi-gigabit and 90W PoE ports.
  • High availability with HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) Live Upgrade provides high availability, non-disruptive fast upgrades and simplified management, supporting redundant power supplies and N+1 redundant fans.
