What are the port configurations on HPE R8N86-61001?

The switch features 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports for Gigabit Ethernet access and 4x 1GbE SFP ports for fiber/copper uplinks. This configuration supports non-PoE deployments with wire-speed 104 Gbps switching across all ports, ideal for connecting endpoints, servers, and uplinks to core infrastructure.

What performance metrics does this switch provide?

It delivers 104 Gbps switching capacity, 77.3 Mpps throughput, and 1.9 μs latency at 1 Gbps. Powered by Aruba ASICs with 12.38 MB packet buffer, it ensures low-latency, non-blocking operation for demanding branch and SMB environments handling mixed traffic loads.

Is Layer 3 routing supported on the CX 6000 48G 4SFP?

Yes, static routing is supported alongside full Layer 2 features including ACLs, QoS, sFlow, and IPv6. AOS-CX enables efficient operator experience without licensing fees, making it suitable for access layer deployments requiring basic inter-VLAN routing.

What management options are available?

Flexible management via Aruba Central (future release), Web GUI, CLI, Aruba NetEdit, and REST APIs. AOS-CX provides consistent experience across Aruba CX portfolio, simplifying deployment from access to core with no subscription required for core functionality.

What is the power and environmental rating?

Max power consumption is 44.2W with 100-127/200-240 VAC input. Operates 0-45°C up to 5000 ft, derating above, in 1U form factor (4.4x44.2x24.7 cm, 3.4 kg) suitable for standard racks in branch offices.

How does it compare to other entry-level switches?

Unlike basic unmanaged switches, CX 6000 offers enterprise-grade AOS-CX with ASIC low latency, built-in uplinks, and lifetime warranty. Provides superior buffering and throughput vs consumer models, at cost-effective pricing for SMB/branch without ongoing subscriptions.
