CX 8360 v1 vs v2 differences/support

  • 1.  CX 8360 v1 vs v2 differences/support

    Posted 3 hours ago

    I am looking to get a pair of 8360s or 8100s for our test lab environment's core.   We have a pair of 8360 v2s in production.

    The latest v2 models are coming in at a higher price than our budget.

    I am looking at used HPE JL703A Aruba 8360-16Y2C - Switch which is a v1 switch.

    I know v1 and v2 switches use the same firmware.  Is there an end of life set for the v1 switches?

    Is the difference just due to chip shortages during COVID?   I think only the v2 will handle combining 2 ports into 50gig.

    Can I get 5 years of use out of this purchase?
