Alcatel 6800 User Manual

The Best Value in Advanced Gigabit Ethernet Switching

OmniSwitch 6800 Family

Enterprise-wide manageability, availability and security

The way enterprise networks are used today has changed how switches must perform and the

capabilities they need to have at the edge of the network. More users are mobile today and not

just within an office building. Today, they work from across campus, across town, and across

the country over wireless and wired connections. Users need to be able to have access to voice,

video, and data applications, yet do so securely, from any of those locations. To address these

needs, enterprise networks require intelligent workgroup switches that deliver high throughput,

are highly available, are easily managed, and provide secure LAN access for mobile users.

The Alcatel OmniSwitch 6800 family of stackable Ethernet switches were designed to meet these

changing needs. They are fixed configuration, triple-speed (10/100/1000) switches that deliver

the advanced features and services required today with the ability to expand to meet the needs

of tomorrow. The OS6800 increases network performance, improves application response

times, secures the LAN, and enhances user productivity by maximizing mobility, network

capacity, and services over existing category 5/5E/6 cabling.

The OS6800 provides wire rate layer-2 forwarding and layer-3 routing with advanced security, unicast and multicast

routing, and comprehensive QoS services. Dynamic user mobility with authentication allows users to connect

securely anywhere in the LAN using 802.1x. This, in conjunction with emerging host security technologies, provides

a method to verify end users and their device status. The OS6800 also supports Alcatel’s Automated Quarantine

Engine (AQE), which provides the enterprise the ability to automatically react to network-based attacks, quarantining

the offending device throughout the network.

With triple-speed capability, built-in combo ports (four 10/100/1000 and four mini-GBIC) and support for optional

wire speed, two port, 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules, the small to large enterprise can now simultaneously protect its

current investment in legacy end devices while providing seamless migration in the future.

A compact, one unit (1U) high form factor, virtual chassis design and a comprehensive set of features makes the OS6800

perfect for the following applications:

• Enterprise workgroups / LAN wiring closets

• Edge deployments and branch offices

• L3 aggregation / distribution layer switches in three-tier networks

• Small enterprise core switching

• Quality of service (QoS) for mission critical applications

• Data center server clusters

The OmniSwitch 6800 family is Alcatel’s first advanced, fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet to the
desktop family of switches. They complement the existing portfolio of Alcatel enterprise fixed­configuration workgroup switches which includes:

• OmniStack 6100 family switches: layer 2+ 10/100 stackable

• OmniStack 6300 family switches: layer 2+ 10/100/1000 standalone

• OmniSwitch 6600 family switches: layer 3 10/100 stackable

Alcatel’s fixed configuration switches are part of the larger Alcatel enterprise portfolio that includes the
modular-based OmniSwitch 7700, 7800, and 8800 series of core switches. Together, this portfolio
offers a complete edge-to-core solution with high availability, intelligent performance, and enhanced
security in an easy to manage, flexible and scalable package.

Alcatel understands the need to offer investment protection and provides a limited lifetime hardware
warranty on OS6100, OS6300, OS6600, and OS6800 families of switches.

Gigabit Ethernet

Many people get stuck on the term “Gigabit to the Desktop” because their focus is
purely on speed and not on the other tangible benefits this class of switch can offer.
The OS6800 provides an advanced, high performance feature set that is secure
and easy to manage and provides the necessary network services to ensure the
enterprise’s mission critical applications are always available and meet user
satisfaction needs.

Future proof

The OS6800s address the need for future proofing and Gigabit migration because they
maximize the bandwidth capabilities of existing cabling plants, support legacy 10/100
devices, and offer room for growth with optional 10G connectivity. With the value the
OS6800 offers, a business can invest in the future at prices it can afford today.

Additionally, the OS6800’s capabilities are not just for desktop connectivity. With a
160 Gbps switching capacity and a 40 Gbps stacking bandwidth, the OS6800 can be
a very cost-effective distribution layer, server aggregation, or core switch.

Plus, the OS6800L switches provide even more security for your investment by being upgradeable and
stackable with other OS6800s. The low entry price allows you to improve your current network’s
performance and later, through a software license, allows you to upgrade to GigE.

Secure Networking The OmniSwitch 6800 can support a distributed security

approach, enhance emerging security technologies, and help secure the LAN edge
using proactive and reactive strategies.

One proactive solution is to perform a host integrity check, which ensures attached
devices are running administrator defined credentials. A host integrity check solution
is significantly enhanced by the OS6800 because it can automatically move hosts
that pass inspection dynamically into their proper VLAN based on the user,
regardless of where they are physically, or move them into a protected environment
where they could maintain limited access to network resources for remediation.

Since every security threat cannot be anticipated, the enterprise also needs a
reactive security solution that can respond quickly and effectively. When the
group mobility feature in the OS6800 is combined with the Alcatel Quarantine
Engine (AQE) and supported intrusion detection systems (IDS), the network can
automatically detect attacks and take protective action such as writing a rule that
drops the device’s traffic, turning off the device’s connectivity to the network or
quarantine it to a protected environment.

High Availability

A high performance network means nothing if it’s not available for use. The
OmniSwitch 6800 virtual chassis minimizes downtime, reduces operational
complexity and cost, and increases availability for mission-critical applications.

A virtual chassis takes the best availability attributes of a modular chassis like
redundant management, fault tolerant backplane and link aggregation including
10 Gig that can be configured across physical switch boundaries. These attributes
remove single points of failure that other stackable switches do not address.

A cost effective, highly available, scalable, and re-configurable network can be
achieved when the virtual chassis benefits of the OS6800 are deployed in
conjunction with the OS6600 family.

Advanced QoS

Quality of service is vital for ensuring mission critical applications receive expedited forwarding
which reduces the chance of critical data flows getting lost, interrupted, or experiencing excessive
delay. The OS6800 provides the necessary hardware queues, intelligence and granularity to properly
identify, mark, and prioritize data flows ensuring mission critical applications run smoothly.

Simplified Manageability

The group mobility feature inherent in the OS6800 also provides plug and play mobility for the
wired user by removing physical limitations. The OS6800 can use device information, data traffic or
user identity to automatically and dynamically keep the user connected seamlessly to their resources,
regardless of their location on the campus. Marketing, finance, operations, and sales could all be in
the same meeting at a common physical location, yet have secure and dynamic access to their
respective network resources.

Along with improved productivity and greater user satisfaction,
group mobility allows self-service, reducing IT operational costs.
Once initial rules for classification are defined, further configuration
or intervention is not necessary.

The OS6800’s virtual chassis design (up to eight switches) provides
all the benefits of managing a chassis-based switch including:
single IP address, simple and quick software upgrades and switch
configuration changes, and a common look and feel with the
modular OmniSwitch solutions.

Your IT person abandoned web management a long time ago
because it was too slow, inefficient, and incapable. WebView is
different since updates happen instantly across the network,
removing the biggest obstacle to simple, fast management.

Alcatel’s WebView gives true “real-world” capabilities back to web
browser element management and allows IT staff of varying abilities
to quickly master and configure new features. The web interface
provides point and click ease with quick access to “help.” WebView
is full featured and can configure and manage all switch features.

OmniVista benefits include:

• PolicyView with OneTouch QoS centralizes and simplifies QoS
configuration network wide.

• Resource Manager automates and centralizes management of
switch software network wide with:

• Bulk operations

• Backup and restore

• SecureView simplifies and centralizes control of switch
administration policies. Provides a high degree of granularity in
access privileges.

The AOS-based OS6800 uses an intuitive CLI that is common across the OmniSwitch line. A common
and easy to use interface from the edge to the core reduces total cost of ownership by reducing training
costs, simplifying and speeding up deployment, and making troubleshooting efforts more routine.

When the Alcatel enterprise network management solution OmniVista is used as the primary
management tool, a small IT staff can effectively and efficiently manage a large network of Alcatel
wired and wireless enterprise solutions, further reducing the man hours and support staff requirements.

Gigabit to the Desktop Migration

The OmniSwitch 6800 series of switches provide a migration path to Gigabit on the LAN
edge where high-speed and extensive features are needed. The OmniSwitch 6800 has the
features necessary to provide intelligent, secure, and available networking for the most
demanding applications and user satisfaction requirements.

• Dynamic user mobility with authentication allows the user to connect securely

anywhere and have access to their resources without admin intervention or

reconfiguration of the network.

• 802.1x, used in conjunction with emerging security technologies, provides

a method to verify an end user and their device status. It then allows admission

or quarantines the device to a safe environment where the deficiencies can

be remedied.

• Support for the Alcatel Quarantine Engine (AQE). AQE works with OmniVista

and emerging IDS/IPS systems to automatically identify the source of network-

based attacks and react with admin defined actions including quarantining

the device, turning off the switch port, or writing a filter rule to drop the

offending traffic.

• High-speed throughput with 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability for the most

demanding applications like video, real time imaging transfer, or large

database transactions.

Gigabit to the desktop migration:

Intelligence, security and availability

support the most demanding applications.
