OmniSwitch 6900
Stackable LAN switches

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6900 Stackable

LAN and data center switches are compact, OmniSwitch 6900-V72
high-density 10 Gb Ethernet (GigE), 25 GigE,
40 GigE and 100 GigE platforms. In addition to
high performance and extremely low latency, OmniSwitch 6900-C32
they offer Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN),
OpenFlow, Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), and data
center bridging (DCB) capabilities, QoS, Layer-2
and Layer-3 switching, as well as system and
network level resiliency. They are designed OmniSwitch 6900-X72

for the most demanding software-defined

operations in virtualized or physical networks
OmniSwitch 6900-Q32
and converged data centers.

With their modular approach, the OmniSwitch

6900s support lossless configurations and native
Fibre Channel (FC) ports for high-speed storage OmniSwitch 6900-x-20 w/OS-XNI-U12
I/O consolidation. They can be positioned as OmniSwitch 6900-x-40 w/OS-XNI-U4
converged top-of-rack or spine switches in data
center environments, or as core and aggregation
devices in campus networks. OmniSwitch 6900-T40 back w/OS-XNI-T8

The OmniSwitch 6900 product family offers a broad range of 1/10 GigE, 25 GigE, 40 GigE and
100 GigE ports in a 1-RU form factor. The switches offer the highest 10 GigE port density in
their class, with up to 104 x 10 GigE ports, up to 32 x 40 GigE and up to 24 x 2/4/8 Gigabit
Fibre Channel (GFC) ports in a 1RU form factor. The OmniSwitch 6900 switches also offer up
to 72 x 25 GigE and 32 x 100 GigE ports in a 1RU form. Their modularity also allows for many
combinations to address any to any switching between Ethernet, Converged Ethernet and FC
ports. The OmniSwitch 6900 product family leverages an energy-efficient model with leading
low power consumption, making them the most efficient and versatile switches in their class.

Power supplies
All OmniSwitch 6900 models support 1+1 redundant, hot-swappable AC and DC power supplies.
The primary and backup power supply units are internal, but removable to allow for easier
maintenance and replacement. There is no service interruption when a new power supply is
installed or an old one replaced. The OS6900-V72 and OS6900-C32 ship with two redundant
power supply units by default. All other OS6900 models ship with one power supply unit.
