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).

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.
