Description The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300S-32C8D is a next-generation 16 Tbps, 1U fixed configuration switch supporting 32-ports of
10/25/100/200GbE, 8-port 400GbE. The switch is an ideal solution for flexible, cost-effective, high-density networking for server,
storage, and intra-fabric connectivity. This solution helps protect enterprises investment as they transition server farms from 10GbE
and 25GbE to 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine configurations at reduced power and a smaller footprint.
