HPE Aruba 8320

Description

Packet storm protection

Protects against unknown broadcast, unknown multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds.

Redundant and load-sharing fans, and power supplies

Increases total performance and power availability while providing hitless, stateful failover.

All hot-swappable modules

Allows replacement of modules without any impact on other modules.

Separate data and control paths

Separates control from services and keeps service processing isolated; increases security and performance.

VRRP

Allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments.

Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)

Monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP-based networks.

High-density port connectivity

Comes with 48 ports of 10G to support SFP and SFP+ transceivers, and 6 ports of 40G to support QSFP+ transceivers.

Jumbo frames

Allows high-performance backups and disaster-recovery systems; provides a maximum frame size of 9K bytes.

Loopback

Supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility.

Flexible port selection

Provides a combination of fiber and copper transceiver to support 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T copper solution.
