THE SWITCHES PROVIDE:
■ Choice of PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) and non-PoE models
■ Triple-speed 10/100/1000 interfaces and 10Gig uplinks
■ Fast Ethernet interfaces upgradeable to Gigabit via a software license key without
any network reconfiguration
■ Gigabit fiber interfaces (SFP) supporting 100BaseX, dual-speed and
1000BaseX optical transceivers
■ Stacking capability for virtual chassis redundancy
■ Power supply choice (AC, DC, PoE) for flexible deployment
■ IPv4 and IPv6 layer-2 and layer-3 switching for future-proof investment
■ Advanced quality of service (QoS) to support mission-critical and triple-play applications
THE TARGET APPLICATIONS FOR THESE VERSATILE LAN SWITCHES ARE:
■ Enterprise workgroups for edge deployments / LAN wiring closets
■ L3 aggregation / distribution layer switches in three-tier networks
■ Small enterprise core switching
■ Ethernet access and aggregation for residential / metro
triple-play applications
■ Converged data / voice / video networks
Today's enterprise networks require Gigabit Ethernet
switches that are feature-rich, reliable, and capable of
supporting converged applications at low cost of ownership.
This family takes advantage of the extensive security and network management features
provided by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network Management System (NMS).
The OmniSwitch 6850 series, similar to the existing Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch products, uses the
Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), which ensures an easy and economical way to upgrade or
deploy a new Ethernet network. The flexible configuration options offered by the OmniSwitch 6850
family makes it suitable for a small/medium network in the core or at the edge of a large network.
Also, the OmniSwitch 6850 protects your investment with native support of IPv4 and IPv6 switching.
