Operating System (AOS) to deliver highly available, secure, self-protective, easily managed
and eco-friendly networks.
The OmniSwitch 6450 family is embedded with the latest technology innovations and offers maximum investmentprotection.
The following types of deployments benefit from the OmniSwitch 6450 family:
• Edge of small-to-mid-sized networks
• Branch office enterprise and campus workgroups
• Residential and commercially managed service applications
• Service provider network deployments
• Enterprise-wide cost reduction through
hardware consolidation to achieve
network segmentation and security
without additional hardware installation
• Supports cost-effective installation and
deployment with automated switch setup
and configuration and end-to-end virtual
LAN (VLAN) provisioning
• Simplifies metro Ethernet network OA&M
for service providers

wireless LAN (WLAN) access points and
video cameras
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
All models ship with two fixed SFP+ ports. ”X”-models uplinks operate at 10 Gb/s by default and non-X models operate at 1Gb/s by default.
Operation at 10 Gb/s for non-X models requires installation of the OS6450-SW-PERF license. These models also offer a two-port expansion
slot for additional gigabit uplinks or 10Gb/s stacking modules. Both PoE and non-PoE models are full rack width, power optimized, fixed
configuration chassis in a 1U form factor. Any “M” models offer metro ethernet services enabled by default and any “non-M” requires the
OS6450-SW-ME for metro ethernet services to be enabled. The “S” models support IEEE 1588v2 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) through
end-to-end Transparent Clock (TC) for network-wide time-synchronizedapplications.
