Does the CX 6000 need a license?

No, web-managed with no recurring license. None required. No recurring license, which keeps total cost predictable next to subscription switches.

What is the PoE budget?

370W in total across the 48 PoE+ ports, with up to 30W available on any single port under IEEE 802.3at Class 4.

Is it managed L2 or L3?

L2 with static L3. AOS-CX, Web GUI, CLI, Central, REST API.

How many ports and uplinks?

48 Gigabit plus 4 SFP. 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+, 4x 1G SFP.

What can it power over PoE?

Within the 370W budget it comfortably powers a mix of IP phones, Wi-Fi 5 access points and cameras. High-draw Wi-Fi 6E access points take a larger share, so size the budget against your actual endpoints.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 48G (R8N85A) is a fixed, web-managed access-layer switch built for small and midsize business networks: 48 Gigabit ports with Class 4 PoE and four SFP uplinks, running AOS-CX. Its big advantage over subscription-based switches is that it needs no add-on license, so the total cost is predictable, and a 370W PoE budget powers a realistic mix of phones, access points and cameras.

104 Gbps switching capacity supports high-density access traffic.
370W Class 4 PoE budget powers 48 Gigabit ports simultaneously.
77.3 Mpps throughput with 1.9 μs latency ensures wire-speed performance.
4x 1G SFP uplinks eliminate access layer bottlenecks effectively.
AOS-CX OS provides programmable management and REST API support.
Static routing, ACLs, and QoS enhance Layer 2 security features.
