Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the Aruba FlexFabric architecture, the 5710 24XGT switch supports full Layer 3 routing capabilities, enabling advanced network segmentation, policy-based routing, and scalable network design. The 24 copper RJ-45 ports operate at 10GBase-T, supporting both twisted-pair and optical fiber media via SFP+ transceivers for flexible cabling strategies.
The switch's six uplink slots accept either QSFP+ or QSFP28 modules, providing configurable high-speed aggregation links. This design supports mixed-speed environments and future-proofs the network core. Integrated management features offer granular control over Quality of Service (QoS), security policies, and traffic monitoring through a comprehensive CLI and web interface.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Modular, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages

- Mix 40GbE and 100GbE uplinks
- Reduce forklift upgrades
- Maximize existing fiber infrastructure
Unified Management
Full manageability through Aruba's networking ecosystem provides consistent policy enforcement, automated provisioning, and centralized monitoring across switches, wireless access points, and security gateways.
- Single-pane-of-glass visibility
- Role-based access control
- Integration with Aruba Central
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch excels in environments where high-speed server connectivity and scalable uplinks are critical. Its 24-port 10GbE density makes it suitable for top-of-rack deployment in virtualized server racks, supporting multiple hypervisors and storage arrays with low-latency switching.
As a distribution layer switch, the 5710 24XGT aggregates traffic from multiple access switches, utilizing its Layer 3 routing to segment departments, apply security policies, and optimize traffic flows. The flexible uplinks connect seamlessly to core switches or directly to high-speed WAN routers, forming a resilient network backbone.
Data Center Server Aggregation
Deploy as a top-of-rack switch connecting blade servers, all-flash arrays, and high-performance compute nodes with consistent 10GbE throughput and low jitter.
Campus Network Distribution
Use in wiring closets or distribution frames to aggregate 1GbE access switches, providing Layer 3 inter-VLAN routing and QoS for voice, video, and data traffic.
Physical Profile
The switch occupies a single rack unit (1U) with dimensions of 1.73 inches high, 17.32 inches wide, and 18.11 inches deep. Its standard 19-inch rack-mountable design includes front-to-back airflow, aligning with common data center cooling layouts. The built-in power supply and moderate 18.85-pound weight ensure stable operation and ease of installation in populated racks.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (44 mm), 17.32" (440 mm), 18.11" (460 mm), 18.85 lb (8550 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
