The primary as well as the backup power supplies

for the OmniSwitch 6850 models are external

and connect to the rear of the unit. A power

shelf provided with the unit, can slide into the

rear of the chassis and is used to hold either two

360W PoE, 126W AC or 120W DC power

supplies or one 510W power supply. For dual

510W conﬁgurations, the backup power supply

has to be remotely mounted.

Any power supply can be remotely connected

using a cable enabling rack mounting in the

rack using ears provided with the unit. This

feature allows the OmniSwitch 6850 to be

used in areas with reduced-depth (e.g., a

wall-mounted cabinet).

Product features and benefits

ONETOUCH NETWORK MANAGEMENT

The OmniSwitch 6850s are part of Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniSwitch

family – which includes core, stackable / modular edge,

and wireless LAN (WLAN) switches - that uses the AOS and

are managed by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network

Management System for simpliﬁed OneTouch manageability. By

offering the same operating system and network management

system (NMS) across all Alcatel-Lucent platforms, an existing

user is familiar with the product’s management from the very

ﬁrst day, reducing the cost of ownership by eliminating the time

needed for training on a different operating system or

management solution.

OmniSwitch administrators have three types of management

method interfaces to choose from – a command line interface

(CLI), Alcatel-Lucent WebView for web-based management,

or Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500 and 2700 network

management applications that offer “one touch” point-and-

click technology. Regardless of the interface selected, each is

easy to use and offers a common look and feel for every device.

PERFORMANCE

The OmniSwitch 6850 family supports real-time voice, data, and video

applications. The switches provide ﬁrst packet wire-speed classification and

processing for all packets – giving a noticeable performance boost to

converged enterprise networks. The OS6850s support advanced services such

as 10GigE, PoE and IPv6, future prooﬁng today’s investment to support the

demands of tomorrow.

ALCATEL-LUCENT OMNIVISTA 2770 QUARANTINE MANAGER

In addition to proactive security provided by Alcatel-Lucent’s Access Guardian, the

Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager provides reactive security by using

alerts from Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch and third-party intrusion detection and prevention

systems to identify malicious attacks and then swiftly handling them through

automatic containment and remediation.

ALCATEL-LUCENT ACCESS GUARDIAN

Alcatel-Lucent’s Access Guardian is a security framework that enables network-wide

and user-based security by automatically detecting and authenticating the 802.1X

and non-802.1X supplicants connected to a single port, in any combination.

This provides users proactive security by preventing unauthorized network access or restricted access for remediation. In

addition to improved network security, Alcatel-Lucent’s Access Guardian reduces to zero the time a network administrator

spends for adding or moving users.

SECURITY

Alcatel-Lucent’s Access Guardian and OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager are components of Alcatel-Lucent’s CrystalSec

security framework that supports all of Alcatel-Lucent’s enterprise networking devices. This framework offers proactive

and reactive security solutions comprised of comprehensive switch-based security capabilities as well as integration with

security applications and appliances from industry leaders.

TRAFFIC ANOMALY DETECTION

Trafﬁc anomaly detection (TAD) is one component of the network security provided by the AOS, which detects network

trafﬁc anomalies and distinguishes malware trafﬁc.

Network trafﬁc anomalies are when trafﬁc patterns in a network do not meet

expectations. TAD detects trafﬁc anomalies by monitoring discrepancies in rates of a

user-port’s ingress and egress packets that match speciﬁc trafﬁc patterns.

With an embedded traffic anomaly detection component,

the OmniSwitch 6850 can now:

■monitor network trafﬁc in real time

■detect anomalies

■report anomalies or dynamically quarantine the offending ports

This comes at low computational and deployment costs, since it does not require additional software or hardware to be

installed. TAD prevents the meltdown of the network by detecting and eliminating the impact of worms and other

malicious code at the edge of the network.

HIGH AVAILABILITY

The OmniSwitch 6850s virtual chassis minimizes network downtime, reduces

operational complexity and cost and increases availability for mission-critical

applications by removing single points of failure.

The OS6850s resiliency is provided through a superior architecture offering

physical and functional redundancy everywhere:

Product features and benefits

■Virtual chassis that provides management functionality and automatic election of

primary and secondary managers

■Redundant backup power supplies

■Fault tolerant loop stacking

■Hot swappable chassis, power supplies, SFPs and XFPs

■Image rollback to automatically re-load previous conﬁgurations and software versions

■Hitless loading of optional advanced routing software without re-booting

9Alcatel-Lucent | OmniSwitch 6850

IPV6 SUPPORT

Leading industry analysts, such as

Gartner Group and Burton, have

indicated that IPv6 will be a

requirement for enterprise networks

in the near future. By including it

now, a network manager extends

the life of existing equipment and

prevents future expenses from

upgrading to IPv6.

The OmniSwitch 6850 family

provides full IPv6 support with

hardware-based forwarding for

wire-rate speeds, classification

and tunneling to address various

corporate and U.S. federal

government Department of Defense

(DoD) requirements for IPv6.

Flexibility is provided through a

choice of deploying IPv4, IPv6, or

IPv4/IPv6 without compromising

switch performance. The OS6850s

offer both native IPv6 routing and

extensive support of IPv6 tunneling

mechanisms, including conﬁgured,

6-in-4, and ISATAP tunneling.

IPv6 will eventually be a

requirement for enterprise

networks. By including it in

current purchases, a network

manager extends the life of

existing equipment and prevents

future expenses.
