The Alcatel-Lucent®OmniSwitch™6400 Stackable LAN Switch is a layer 2+ Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch
addressing the small and medium-sized business needs for converged voice, data and video networks as
well as residential and business Ethernet access service providers’ requirements. With an optimized design
for flexibility and scalability as well as low power consumption, the OmniSwitch 6400 runs the field-proven
Alcatel-Lucent Operating Software (AOS), providing an outstanding edge solution for highly available,
self-protective, easily managed and eco-friendly networks.
The OmniSwitch 6400 addresses the fixed managed LAN switch segment and expands the current enterprise
™
portfolio, fitting between the Alcatel-Lucent OmniStack
LAN switch) and the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850 Stackable LAN Switch (Advanced layer 3 Gigabit LAN
switch with 10G interfaces) in terms of speed and software features.
Solutions that will benefit from these versatile LAN switches are:
• Small-to-medium business (SMB) converged networks
• Branch office workgroups
• Metro Ethernet access for residential/metro triple-play applications
