Chapter 2 Introducing the Aruba 8325 Switch 9
Interface-Group operation
The SFP28 ports in the Aruba 8325-48Y8C switches are organized into four groups of 12 ports each.
Figure 2: Front of the Aruba 8325-48Y8C (JL624A and JL625A) interface-groups
All transceivers in a given interface-group must have the same speed. For example, in an interface-group
configured for 25 Gbps operation, any 10 Gbps transceivers installed will be in conflict with the interface-group
configuration and not be enabled. Any interface in conflict with the current configuration will cause a fault event to
be logged in the event log, the interface will be labeled as a “group speed mismatch," and the port LED will flash
amber to indicate an installation error was detected. All fault indications will flash in unison with the Global Status
LED to alert the user.
In the default switch configuration, all four interface-groups are configured to 25 Gbps. To configure the speed for
an interface-group to 10 Gbps, use the following command:
system interface-group <1|2|3|4> speed <10g|25g>
For example, to configure interface-group 1 for 10g, use this command:
8325(config)# system interface-group 1 speed 10g
Once entered, the switch will present the warning and required user response:
Changing the group speed will disable all member interfaces
that do not match the new speed.
Continue (y/n)? y
For more information on configuring port group operation, see the Aruba 8325 Fundamentals Guide for
ArubaOS-CX at www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceFinder. See also “Interface-group speed settings” on
page 38.

This product also supports optional network connectivity:
Notes:
1 SFP28 ports support 10G SFP+, and 25G SFP28 transceivers.
2 QSFP28 ports support 40G QSFP+ and 100G QSFP28 transceivers.
3 There are 4 interface-groups on the 8325-48Y8C switches.
Interface-group 1: Ports 1 to 12
Interface-group 2: Ports 13 to 24
Interface-group 3: Ports 25 to 36
Interface-group 4: Ports 37 to 48
Ports in an interface-group can only support either 10G or 25G speeds, depending on your
configuration. Interface-groups must be configured to the user's intended installation. The default
speed for all interface-groups is 25 Gbps.

Management ports
Console port
The Aruba 8325-48Y8C and 8325-32C switches include an RJ-45 serial console port. This port is used to connect
a console to the switch by using an RJ-45 serial cable (not supplied). A DB9-to-RJ-45 console cable can be
ordered from HPE: JL448A, Aruba X2C2 RJ45 to DB9 Console Cable.
The 8325-48Y8C switches also include an additional Micro USB serial console port. This port can be used to
connect a console to the switch by using a standard Micro USB cable (not supplied). The Micro USB connector has
precedence for input. If both cables are plugged in, the console output is echoed to both the RJ-45 and the Micro-
USB ports, but the input is only accepted from the Micro-USB port.
For more information on the console connection, see “9. Connect a management console” on page 41. The
console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Out-of-band management (OOBM) port
This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the switch. To use it, connect an RJ-45
network cable to the management port to manage the switch through SSH or Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX
workstation.
To use this port, see the Aruba 8325 Fundamentals Guide for ArubaOS-CX. For more detailed information, refer to
the switch software manuals for your switch provided at www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceFinder.
A networked out-of-band connection through the management port allows you to manage data network switches
from a physically and logically separate management network.
USB-A port
A USB-A port for file management, downloading switch software code, or use of HPE-Aruba accessories. This port
uses a USB Type-A connector and complies with all USB protocols and standards.
