The AOS-based OS6800 uses an intuitive CLI that is common across the OmniSwitch line. A common
and easy to use interface from the edge to the core reduces total cost of ownership by reducing training
costs, simplifying and speeding up deployment, and making troubleshooting efforts more routine.
When the Alcatel enterprise network management solution OmniVista is used as the primary
management tool, a small IT staff can effectively and efficiently manage a large network of Alcatel
wired and wireless enterprise solutions, further reducing the man hours and support staff requirements.
Gigabit to the Desktop Migration
The OmniSwitch 6800 series of switches provide a migration path to Gigabit on the LAN
edge where high-speed and extensive features are needed. The OmniSwitch 6800 has the
features necessary to provide intelligent, secure, and available networking for the most
demanding applications and user satisfaction requirements.
• Dynamic user mobility with authentication allows the user to connect securely
anywhere and have access to their resources without admin intervention or
reconfiguration of the network.
• 802.1x, used in conjunction with emerging security technologies, provides
a method to verify an end user and their device status. It then allows admission
or quarantines the device to a safe environment where the deficiencies can
be remedied.
• Support for the Alcatel Quarantine Engine (AQE). AQE works with OmniVista
and emerging IDS/IPS systems to automatically identify the source of network-
based attacks and react with admin defined actions including quarantining
the device, turning off the switch port, or writing a filter rule to drop the
offending traffic.
• High-speed throughput with 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability for the most
demanding applications like video, real time imaging transfer, or large
database transactions.
