Options from here
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 A is still supported (to Mar 2031). Options to plan around, in rough priority:
Supported for now. Track the end-of-service date and revisit at refresh planning.
Fold the eventual replacement into your multi-year budget.
Stay on a supported software train while under OEM support.
An option to extend life once the OEM cutoff nears.
Independent and informational. EOSL.ai sells no hardware and no maintenance, and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the role the asset plays.
Aruba Networking CX 6000 A questions
Is the HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 A end of life?
Not past support yet. HPE support runs to Mar 2031, derived from HPE's published 5-year support-life policy applied to the end-of-sale date. End of sale has passed (Mar 2026), so it can no longer be bought new from HPE.
What is the last date of support for the CX 6000 A?
Mar 2031, derived from HPE's published 5-year support-life policy applied to the end-of-sale date.
Where do these CX 6000 A dates come from?
End-of-sale dates link to the official HPE end-of-sale bulletin. End-of-service-life is computed as end-of-sale plus HPE's published 5-year support-life policy, which is also linked.
