ALCATEL-LUCENT

OMNISWITCH 6850E
STACKABLE LAN SWITCH

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850E Stackable LAN Switch (SLS) family offers advanced
stackable gigabit Ethernet switches for the enterprise networks. The OmniSwitch 6850E is
available in 24 and 48 port configurations and provides wire-rate layer-2 and layer-3 switching
simultaneously for IPv4 and IPv6. The OmniSwitch 6850E supports fine grained controls for
quality of service (QoS) and for security including network access control (NAC), along with full
support for 802.3at compliant power over Ethernet (PoE) and additional 10Gig ports for smooth
expansion of existing installations where PoE+ or SFP+ is needed.
These versatile LAN switches can
be positioned:
At the edge of mid- to large-sized
converged enterprise networks
At the aggregation layer
In a small enterprise network core
OS6850E-U24X OS6-XNI-U2
They are also suitable as advanced
CPEs for Ethernet access for metro
and managed services.

FEATURES BENEFITS
Versatile features and models offering: With the variety of interfaces and models, the OmniSwitch 6850 family meets
Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces any customer configuration need and offers excellent investment protection
IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant PoE and flexibility, as well as ease of deployment, operation and maintenance.
Optional 10GigE plug-in module delivers
additional 2 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports
Hardware-based virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) Enterprise-wide cost reduction through hardware consolidation to achieve
support network segmentation and security without additional hardware installation.
Low power consumption, full support for 802.3at PoE+ The OmniSwitch 6850E ensures efficient power management, reduces operat-
providing up to 30W of PoE per port ing expenses and lowers total cost of ownership (TCO). Ensures that the new
devices such as CCTV cameras, WLAN access points, and full featured desktop
sets can be supported

ALCATEL-LUCENT OMNISWITCH 6850E MODELS

The OmniSwitch 6850E family offers customers an extensive selection of gigabit fixed-configuration switches with up to four 10GigE
uplinks, PoE and power supply options that accommodate most needs. All models are in a 1RU form factor and have two 10GBase-CX4
ports that can be used either for stacking or as a connector to a plug-in module for two additional 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports.

Combo ports are ports individually configurable to be 10/100/1000Base-T or 1000Base-X, which support SFP transceivers for short, long
and very long distances.

POWER SUPPLIES
All OmniSwitch 6850E models support redundant, hot-swappable AC, DC or PoE power supplies. The primary and the backup power supply
units are modular, allowing for easier maintenance and replacement. There is no interruption of service when a new power supply is
installed or an old one replaced
