Description
More Specification
The R8N86A HPE Aruba 6000 Switch is a high-performance, managed switch that is designed to be used in enterprise and data center environments. It has 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, which are used for high-speed connectivity. The switch is rack mountable, allowing it to be easily installed in standard server racks.
The R8N86A is a Local Area Network (LAN) switch, which means it is used to connect devices within a localized area such as a building or campus. It is designed to handle high-bandwidth applications, such as video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers.
The switch is equipped with advanced management and security features, including support for VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Access Control Lists (ACLs), to ensure secure and efficient network operations. Additionally, it provides redundancy and high availability, which makes it suitable for mission-critical applications.
The switch is powered by the ArubaOS-Switch operating system, which provides a robust set of features for network management and automation. It is fully integrated with other Aruba network management solutions and can also be interoperable with other HPE Aruba and third-party devices.
48 Gigabit Ethernet Ports and 4 SFP Ports
The R8N86A HPE Aruba 6000 Switch has 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports. The Gigabit Ethernet ports are used to connect devices such as computers, servers, and other network devices using standard Ethernet cables. These ports provide high-speed data transfer rates of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) per port, allowing for fast and efficient data transfer.
The SFP ports, also known as mini-GBIC ports, are used to connect the switch to other devices using fiber-optic cables. These ports provide even higher data transfer rates, typically up to 10 Gbps, and are typically used to connect the switch to other network devices, such as other switches or routers, over longer distances. The SFP ports can also support other types of optics such as SFP+ for 10Gbps and SFP28 for 25 Gbps.
The combination of 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP ports in the R8N86A makes it a versatile and powerful switch that can handle a large number of connected devices and high-bandwidth applications. It can also be used to create a scalable and high-performance network infrastructure.
Management and Security Features of the R8N86A
The R8N86A HPE Aruba 6000 Switch has a number of management and security features that make it well-suited for enterprise and data center environments. Some of the key features include:
- VLANs: The switch supports Virtual LANs (VLANs), which can be used to segment the network into smaller, more manageable subnets. This allows for better network security and traffic management.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which allow for the prioritization of different types of network traffic. This ensures that important applications and services receive the bandwidth they need while less critical traffic is given lower priority.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The switch supports Access Control Lists (ACLs), which can be used to restrict access to the network based on specific criteria such as IP address or MAC address.
- Port Security: The switch supports port security, which allows the administrator to limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a given port.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP which allows multiple physical ports to be grouped together to form a single logical link, providing redundancy and increased bandwidth.
- Advanced Security features: The switch supports advanced security features such as DHCP snooping, ARP inspection, IP source guard and many more, which help to protect the network against various security threats and attacks.
- Remote Management: The switch can be managed remotely, allowing for easy monitoring and configuration of the network from a central location.
These features provide a comprehensive set of tools for network management and security, allowing administrators to easily and effectively manage the switch and the network as a whole.
Redundancy and High Availability in the R8N86A
The R8N86A HPE Aruba 6000 Switch is designed with redundancy and high availability in mind, which makes it suitable for mission-critical applications. Some of the key features that support redundancy and high availability include:
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) : LACP allow multiple physical ports to be grouped together to form a single logical link, providing redundancy and increased bandwidth. This ensures that if one physical link fails, traffic can still be passed through the other links in the bundle, minimizing downtime.
- Hot-swappable power supply and fans: The switch has hot-swappable power supply and fans, which allow for easy replacement in the event of a failure. This ensures that the switch can continue to operate even if a component fails.
- Redundant Power Supply : The switch supports redundant power supply, which means that it has two power supply units, one of which can take over in case the other fails. This ensures that the switch continues to operate even if one of the power supply units fails.
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) : The switch supports VRRP, which allows multiple routers to work together to present the appearance of a single virtual router to the hosts on a LAN. This ensures that if one router fails, another one can take over its responsibilities, minimizing downtime.
- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) : The switch supports RSTP, which allows for rapid recovery from failed links in the network. This ensures that if a link fails, traffic can be quickly rerouted through another path, minimizing downtime.
These features provide a comprehensive set of tools for redundancy and high availability, allowing administrators to easily and effectively ensure that the network remains up and running even in the event of a failure.
