Aruba 6405 v2 Managed Network Switch

The Aruba R0X26C is a chassis switch that delivers the performance and flexibility large campuses, data centers, and growing enterprise networks often need. With a switching capacity that reaches 28 terabits per second and a forwarding rate of 11.4 billion packets each second, it keeps high-volume traffic moving without the bottlenecks that slow critical applications.

Inside, a quad-core 1.8 GHz ARM Cortex A72 processor works alongside 16 GB of DDR4 memory and 32 GB of flash storage. This hardware foundation allows the switch to load complex routing tables, maintain large configurations, and boot quickly after updates or maintenance.

The chassis provides five open slots, so you can install the mix of line cards that fits your environment. Whether you need 10 Gb ports for server aggregation, 100 Gb uplinks for spine-leaf designs, or high-power PoE to run access points and security cameras, the 6405 v2 adapts as requirements change. Two hot-swappable fan trays are already in place, and rackmount brackets and cable guides come in the box; you simply add the power supplies that match your redundancy and power budget strategy.

Aruba’s AOS-CX operating system sits at the center of day-to-day management. The intuitive interface, built-in analytics, and programmable APIs help network teams monitor traffic patterns, troubleshoot issues, and automate routine tasks without digging through layers of command syntax. USB-A, USB-C, and RJ-45 management ports give you flexible local access during installation or recovery.

Organizations that run advanced Layer 3 protocols such as BGP, OSPF, or EVPN will appreciate the switch’s full routing feature set. Combined with support for Class 6 PoE and high-density Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports (when equipped with the appropriate modules), the Aruba R0X26C becomes a strong core or aggregation platform for modern wired and wireless deployments.
