HPE Aruba CX 6000 48-Port Layer 2 Switch

The HPE Aruba CX 6000 is a fully managed Layer 2 switch designed for branch offices and midsize businesses. It provides forty-eight Gigabit RJ45 ports and four SFP uplink ports in a desktop form factor. The switch operates without software licensing fees or subscriptions.

Suited for wired access networks needing static

This switch fits networks that require ACLs, sFlow, IPv6 support and traffic prioritisation at the access layer. It is not for buyers who need Power over Ethernet for connected devices. It is also not for environments that require Layer 3 routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP.

104 Gbps switching capacity

The dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor delivers 104 Gbps of switching capacity and 77.3 Mpps forwarding performance. Latency at 1 Gbps is 1.9 microseconds. This specification determines whether the switch can handle the aggregate traffic load of the intended network segment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the HPE Aruba CX 6000 48G 4SFP switch in a standard rack, and what step is often missed?

Mount the 4.4 cm high desktop chassis using the included brackets, then connect the 48 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP uplinks; the step often missed is securing the AC power cord to the 100-127 VAC or 200-240 VAC inlet so it cannot pull loose under cable strain.

What maintenance or replacement will the switch need later?

The fixed internal power supply and fan tray are not user-replaceable; plan for a full unit replacement after the expected hardware lifecycle, and keep the 8 GB DDR3 memory and 16 GB eMMC firmware storage updated via software upgrades.

What limit appears first under sustained full-load traffic?

The 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.3 Mpps throughput ceiling will be reached before the 44.2 W power draw or 1.9 µs latency become constraints.
