HPE R8N87-61001
Aruba 6000 Series 24-Port PoE+ Managed Ethernet Switch
The HPE Aruba R8N87-61001 switch is a powerful yet compact managed Layer-2 access switch from the Aruba 6000 series—optimized foragile branch offices, SMBs, and enterprise edge deployments. Featuring 24 Gigabit PoE+ RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP uplinks, plus USB-C console and USB-A host ports, it delivers flexible connectivity with centralized power for Wi-Fi access points, VoIP phones, and surveillance cameras. Powered by HPE AOS-CX OS and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 engine, this fanless 1U rack-mount switch supports advanced features like ACLs, sFlow, IPv6, VLANs, LACP, and more—all manageable via Web GUI, CLI, Aruba Central, or REST APIs. The R8N87-61001 brings enterprise-grade performance and automation at outstanding value, making it a compelling choice for modern, efficient network access layers.
Features
Built for agility and operational simplicity, the R8N87-61001 combines robust switching with intelligent automation. It offers 56 Gbps switching capacity, 41.6 Mpps throughput, and ultra-low latency (~1.5 µs), thanks to a dedicated ASIC and packet buffer (~12.38 MB: 4.5 MB ingress, 7.875 MB egress) . The 370 W PoE+ budget (IEEE 802.3at Class 4) enables powering multiple high-density devices per port, while the inclusion of USB-C console and USB-A host ports improves management flexibility and edge computing options This model delivers enterprise-class reliability with hardware support for ACLs, DHCP snooping, sFlow, spanning tree protocols (RSTP/MSTP), IPv6, and more, combined with secure management via SSH, HTTPS, RADIUS, TACACS+ . Its fanless design enhances dependability and reduces noise—perfect for office or lab environments. Integration into Aruba management ecosystem—like Aruba Central, Switch Multi-Edit, and REST APIs—enables unified, automated operations across wired and wireless fabrics
Advanced Options
The R8N87-61001 switch delivers consistent performance and enterprise-level availability. With its robust hardware architecture—56 Gbps switching capacity, large packet buffers, and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU—it handles heavy network loads with minimal latency and maximal resilience PoE+ power delivery across all 24 ports allows flexible device placement and simplified cabling, reducing infrastructure complexity.
