Aruba 8325 Layer 3 switch

This Aruba 8325 switch delivers Layer 3 routing for core, aggregation and top-of-rack deployments. It provides 48 ports at 25GbE and 8 ports at 100GbE in a 1U form factor. The platform supports over 6.4Tbps of switching capacity for mobile, cloud and IoT workloads. It suits network teams migrating from 10GbE or 40GbE to higher-density 25GbE and 100GbE links.

Modular 1U chassis with SFP28 and QSFP28 slots

The unit uses SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 transceivers for the 48 25GbE ports and QSFP+ or QSFP28 modules for the 8 100GbE uplinks. Its modular design allows flexible media choices without replacing the chassis. The 1U height leaves rack space for servers, storage or additional networking gear. No proprietary daughter-cards are required to populate the front-panel ports.

Front-to-rear airflow with redundant power and fans

The switch draws cool air from the front and exhausts it at the rear, matching standard data-centre hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts. Dual hot-swap power supplies and hot-swap fan trays keep the system running during module replacement. Line-rate forwarding across all 10Gbps, 25Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps interfaces is maintained without oversubscription.

Questions about this item

What throughput limit appears first when the 8325-48Y8C runs at full line rate across all ports?

The switch delivers over 6.4 Tbps of total capacity, so the aggregate fabric limit is reached before any individual 25G or 100G port saturates.

How much heat and fan noise should I expect when the 8325-48Y8C operates continuously in a 1U rack?

The compact 1U chassis uses integrated cooling designed for sustained line-rate operation across 48 SFP28 and 8 QSFP28 ports in data-centre environments.

Which transceivers and cables must I already have to populate the 48 SFP28 and 8 QSFP28 slots?

The ports accept SFP, SFP+ or SFP28 modules for 10G or 25G links and QSFP+ or QSFP28 modules for 40G or 100G links.
