Core Layer 3 switching for enterprise networks

The HPE A5800AF-48GProduct delivers 48 Gigabit ports and 10-Gigabit uplinks in a high-density Layer 3 switch. It supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 routing with wire-speed line-rate performance on all ports. Designed for network core, convergence or edge deployment in buildings and departments.

Chassis ships without power or cooling modules

The package contains the switch only; power supplies and fans must be sourced separately to match the chosen redundancy level. An open application architecture module slot allows optional service modules to be added for specialised functions. IRF and RRPP features enable resilient stacking of multiple units across sites.

10-Gigabit uplink capacity bounds total throughput

Aggregate bandwidth is limited by the number and speed of the installed uplinks, so oversubscribed designs must plan accordingly. Dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 processing runs at line rate, but advanced services consume shared hardware resources. Geographic IRF links add latency that scales with distance and intermediate hops.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the JG225A switch need since it ships without power supplies or fans?

You must source compatible HPE power supplies and fan trays separately; once installed, the only ongoing maintenance is periodic fan cleaning and power-supply health checks.

What limit appears first when the 48 ports run at wire speed all day?

The 10 Gbps uplink capacity becomes the bottleneck before the 48 Gigabit downlinks saturate.

How much heat and noise should I expect from the A5800AF-48G running continuously?

Heat and noise depend entirely on the power-supply and fan modules you choose; the chassis itself has no built-in cooling or power components.
