Aruba R8N88A — CX 6000 24G access with 4×1G SFP uplinks (non-PoE)

What it is

An Aruba CX 6000 Series entry-level access switch for branches, SMB, and campus edge.
R8N88A is the 24-port, non-PoE model: 24 × 1GbE RJ-45 ports for standard wired clients, plus 4 × 1G SFP uplinks for fiber or copper SFP runs. It runs AOS-CX, so the management and CLI feel like the rest of the CX family, just in a simpler value chassis.

Why buyers pick R8N88A (plain English)

  • Right-sized 1G access without PoE cost
    Perfect when endpoints don’t need power (PCs, printers, POS, thin clients).

  • Simple 1G fiber uplinks built in
    Four SFP uplinks make it easy to connect to aggregation without chewing up RJ-45 ports.

  • Modern CX operations at entry price
    Same AOS-CX look/feel, automation hooks, and Central/NetEdit support path.

  • Low-touch reliability
    Designed to be an easy, stable access-layer workhorse.

Switching / performance

  • Switching capacity: 56 Gbps class

  • Forwarding: ~41.6 Mpps

  • Latency (1G): ~1.5 μs class

OS & management

  • AOS-CX

  • Managed via CLI / Web UI / Aruba Central / Aruba NetEdit / SNMP / telemetry

  • REST API ready for automation workflows

Layer / features

  • Enterprise L2 + static routing (L3-lite)

  • ACLs, QoS, sFlow, IPv6

Stacking

  • No VSF stacking on CX 6000 (single-box access)

Form factor

  • 1U rack-mount, fixed PSU/fans

  • Typical max power (no PoE): ~33W class

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

  • Branch or campus access closets with standard 1G clients

  • Sites needing simple 1G SFP uplinks and no PoE

Choose something else if:

  • You need powered ports → pick a CX 6000 PoE model

  • You need 10G uplinks or stacking → step up to CX 6100 / CX 6200

TL;DR

R8N88A is the CX 6000 “24-port gigabit edge with 1G SFP uplinks” switch:
24×1G copper, 4×1G SFP, AOS-CX ops, and a simple reliable non-PoE access footprint.
