1For supported transceivers, see the Transceiver Guide.
For technical details of cabling and technologies, see “Cabling and technology information”.
2RJ-45 Cat 5e cable is needed for connecting this transceiver. The max link length specified is 100m.
310GBase-T transceiver limited support:
-only supported in ports 1-2, 4-5, 7-8, 10-11, 13-14, 16-17. Use in any other port generates an “Incompatible
interface” error.
-maximum twelve 10GBase-T transceivers (both interface-groups 1 & 2 must be set for 10G operation).
4RJ-45 shielded Cat 6A cable is needed for connecting up this transceiver. The max link length specified is 30m.
5CAT6A F/FTP, S/FTP, SF/FTP highly recommended in noisy environments. Refer to Aruba
Support_Advisory_JL563A_10GBaseT_APSC-RS20180403-01 for more information.

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. Set up for initial configuration”. The console can be a
PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
The Aruba CX mobile app and the Aruba USB Bluetooth adapter enable you to configure your switch from your
mobile device. For information about using the Aruba CX mobile app to configure the switch, see the
Fundamentals Guide for your switch and software release.
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 Fundamentals Guide. For more detailed information, refer to the switch software manuals
for your switch provided at the Aruba Support Portal at https://asp.arubanetworks.com/downloads.
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.
