Powerful, modular, intelligent Layer 3 switch chassis supporting BGP, HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Extension (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.
Reasons to buy:
Future-ready with Superior Performance
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 Switch Series uses 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 series is a compact 6 slot (4 RU) supporting a choice of line cards and redundant, half‑width management modules that seamlessly support Wi-Fi 6 and IoT with HPE 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.
The series provides security-first networking with MACsec [1] capable line card modules delivering the enterprise-grade performance and security needs for small and medium campus, branch enterprise networks.
Simplified Operations and Management
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 Switch Series is based on HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System (AOS-CX), a modern, database‑driven operating system that automates and simplifies many critical and complex network tasks.
The CX 5420 series delivers unparalleled visibility with built-in analytics for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting to help fix problems faster. The HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact network health.
REST APIs, Python and CLI‑based agents for advanced telemetry, automation to easily identify, troubleshoot network, system, application and security-related issues. The time series database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to resolve network issues quickly.
HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes, and achieves policy conformance post network updates. Intelligent capabilities include search, edit, validation (including conformance checking), deployment, and audit features.
HPE Aruba Networking CX Mobile App simplifies connecting, stacking and managing CX 5420 series. Switch information can be imported into HPE Aruba Networking Switch Multi-Edit Software for simplified configuration management and to continuously validate conformance of configurations in the network.
Secure and Scalable Segmentation
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 5420 Switch Series supports HPE Aruba Networking dynamic segmentation that automatically applies and enforces user, device, and application-aware policies on wired and wireless infrastructures.
Automated device profiling, role-based access control, and Layer 7 firewall features deliver enhanced visibility and performance for a better overall experience for both IT and end-users alike.
Dynamic segmentation provides scale and flexibility in network design by allowing the stretching of VLANs and subnets across the entire network with VXLAN overlay fabric which uses group based policy tagging to transport source role.
Extended-Edge VTEP (EE VTEP) static VXLAN supports EE VTEP persona. Enable flexible L2 Fabric design with scale and consistent architecture with support of Group-Based-Policy and role-to-role security enforcement.
