HPE R8N86A ABA Networking 6000 48G 4SFP managed Ethernet Switch 48 ports

The HPE R8N86A is an enterprise-class, fully managed Layer 2 access switch belonging to the Aruba CX 6000 series. It is engineered for small to midsize businesses, enterprise branch offices, and campus networks seeking a reliable and cost-effective wired access solution. The switch provides a solid foundation for networks supporting a high density of client, mobile, and IoT devices that do not require Power over Ethernet (PoE). This platform is built on a modern architecture featuring Aruba ASICs and the powerful AOS-CX operating system, which is used across the entire Aruba CX switching portfolio. This unification creates a consistent, more efficient operator experience from the network edge to the core, simplifying management tasks and reducing the potential for configuration errors. The result is a dependable, low-latency network infrastructure that is straightforward to deploy and maintain. Designed for operational simplicity, the R8N86A fits a standard 1U rack-mountable form factor, making it ideal for clean installations in wiring closets. Management is highly flexible, offering options for cloud-based control with Aruba Central, an intuitive on-box web GUI for simple configurations, and a full-featured command-line interface (CLI) for advanced network engineering tasks. This versatility ensures the switch can be seamlessly integrated into various IT management frameworks.
