Aruba 6400 Airflow

– System airflow is Front-to-Rear only – not reversible– Integrated fans in each PSU provide cooling for the supply– Fan trays pull air through the chassis to cool management modules

and line cards

– Novel design maximizes cooling performance while enabling compact system footprint

1. Cool air enters the bulkhead vents across the front of Line Cards2. Air is channeled through each line card to cool all components3. Air exits line card rear through airflow channels located along backplane4. Rear chassis features channel airflow across backplane to cool all

components5. Air exits chassis though system fans

– Sensor-based thermal control provides optimal cooling while achieving lowest possible acoustics– Chassis management constantly reads sensors located throughout

the system to monitor temperatures and adjust fan speed accordingly

• VSF on the 6300 Switch Series enables stacking of multiple switches into a single virtual device, enabling higher port density and link redundancy while providing a single point of management

• Up to 10 switches per stack are supported in a ring or chain topology

• Supports 10G, 25G, and 50G VSF link speeds using SFP56 uplink ports with supported transceivers or DACs

• Centralized L2 gateway is typically used when• Network security between subnets is required• Centralized L3 firewall functions as default gateway to inspect all traffic

• Traffic on the same subnet between VTEPs does not need to traverse border leaf• Dedicated Border Leafs 3A/3B are shown (not mandatory), Leafs 2A/2B can also function as border leaf if desired• IBGP EVPN Route Reflectors (RRs) are used to avoid full mesh IBGP peering, leaf switches only need to peer with RRs• VSX Leafs/logical VTEPs are supported in 10.4, provides VTEP HA and VSX-LAG capability to servers• 8325 (leaf and spine) and 8400 (higher port density spine) are recommended for this use case in 10.4
