The award winning Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch

9000 family (OS9000s) is a product line of full-

featured, high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet

chassis LAN switches that ranges from a low-cost,

entry-point chassis.

The OS9000s deliver future-proof solutions with advanced security and QoS

features for use in small-to-large enterprise cores, in the aggregation layer

and in wiring closets with ﬂexible power-over-Ethernet support. The OS9000s

are a part of Alcatel-Lucent’s end-to-end enterprise switch family.

The switches support future edge requirements as Gigabit

Ethernet to the desktop becomes commonplace and demand for

power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability increases.

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000s are designed to anticipate

future network needs with wire-rate processing for simultaneous

IPv4 / IPv6 and support for unicast and multicast

applications such as voice-over-IP and video collaboration.

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 Family

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 family offers ﬂexible

features and beneﬁts that make it an ideal switch to use

throughout your network and works exceptionally well

as a core or aggregation switch. The OS9000 family offers

a common set of network interface (NI) modules that are

compatible and interchangeable with all OS9000 models,

reducing the cost of keeping spares and therefore

lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).

The OS9000 family offers a wide range of GigE and 10GigE interfaces that provide the

industry’s most ﬂexible combination of Ethernet interfaces for use in a wiring closet. It

also offers power-over-Ethernet to support IP phones, WLAN access points and

video cameras. VoIP and video performance is also enhanced in an OmniSwitch-based

network through the use of policy-based QoS using OmniVista NMS PolicyView.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9800

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9800 (OS9800) has an 18-slot chassis which

provides the largest capacity available in the OS9000 family and is designed

for those applications that require a large port density. Designed for smart

continuous switching operations, the two center slots are dedicated to CMMs

allowing redundant conﬁgurations, with 16 additional slots for network interface

modules. The CMMs provide two critical functions – active standby resiliency for

system control and active-active redundancy for the switching fabric. The 16 slots

provide support for up to 768 GigE ports or 96 10 GigE ports. Plus, key OS9800’s

sub-components – such as network interface cards (NICs) and the power supply

units (PSU) – are compatible and interchangeable with all other OS9000s as well

as the fan trays with the OS9700, reducing the cost of keeping spares and

lowering the total cost of ownership.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9700

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9700 (OS9700) has a 10-slot chassis that offers

high-density capacity supporting an aggregation of up to 384 GigE ports or 48

10GigE ports. The OS9700 supports two slots for CMMs and has eight additional

slots for network interface modules. Similar to the OS9800, the OS9700 has been

designed for smart continuous switching operation whenever used in a redundant

conﬁguration. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9700 was named as Network

Computing’s Editor’s Choice for its superb manageability and ease of use.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9600

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9600 (OS9600) features a 5-slot chassis making it

Alcatel-Lucent’s low-cost, entry-point LAN switch solution that provides the small

enterprise the best performance-to-price available today. The OS9600 supports a

single CMM and four network interface modules. The OS9600 also future proofs

the investment since the network can be expanded inexpensively by reusing all

components in an OS9700 including the CMM, the OS9000 network interface

modules, the power supplies, and the large power-over-Ethernet shelf. By offering

the same features and capabilities as the other OmniSwitch 9000 switches, the

OS9600 provides enterprise businesses an affordable core that supports converged

voice, video, data and other applications.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The OS9000 family provides an easy and economical way to upgrade or

deploy a new Ethernet network. The large number of ports makes the

OmniSwitch 9000s suitable for two- or three-tier network designs. This is

possible because of the high performance capability and density of GigE and

10GigE. The OS9000s also future proofs the network with native and full

support of simultaneous IPv4 / IPv6 for addressing migration from IPv4 to

IPv6 or new IPv6 deployments.

The OS9000s are engineered to be deployed in the:

The OS9000 switch family addresses the needs of

converged networks: high availability, wire-speed

performance, high density GigE and 10GigE, and

improved network response time.

SIMPLIFIED NETWORK MANAGEMENT

Network management is simplified by providing

users with familiar commands and user interfaces

since all OmniSwitch products use the same Alcatel-

Lucent Operating System (AOS) and are completely

integrated with the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista

Network Management System (NMS). Alcatel-Lucent

also offers other management options such as

WebView, which is a web-based user-friendly element

manager, a command line interface (CLI) and SNMP for

third-party network management systems. No feature is

exclusive to one management method. All are equal

which leaves it to the administrator to select his or her

preferred option.

SECURITY

Alcatel-Lucent secures the network with proactive and reactive

capabilities that are provided through Alcatel-Lucent Access Guardian

and the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager.

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Quarantine Manager is

an open, attack containment solution that defends

against attacks at the network and application levels

by isolating misbehaving users and providing a

means for user remediation. It integrates quarantine

information from any IDS or source of information

about an attack and can locate and isolate an

attacking device on any switch or wireless LAN switch

in the network.

Although third-party switches can quarantine a port,

when the OmniVista Quarantine Manager is used with

an Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch it is able to offer options

to either isolate or quarantine only the offending user

while keeping network access to any other users on

the same port open.

Alcatel-Lucent Access Guardian provides identity based

network access to enable enforcement of device and

network security policies, resulting in increased privacy

and availability of communications. Access Guardian

authenticates network users, confirms their PC’s

conformance to security policies, and then provides

access rights based on the user’s role. Using Access

Guardian, the network is able to provide secure access

to all authorized users including IP phones and other

network devices, regardless of the vendor. All while

protecting the privacy and availability of your

business’ communications.

Alcatel-Lucent’s Access Guardian enables proactive, network-wide

security through auto-sense authentication that runs on the OmniSwitch,

preventing unauthorized network access. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista

2770 Quarantine Manager provides reactive security by automatically

handling malicious attacks by taking intrusion information and

dynamically reconfiguring the network to contain the attack.
