Stand-Alone and Stacked Configurations OmniSwitch 6600 Family
Stand-Alone and Stacked Configurations
Stand-Alone
A stand-alone OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch is ideal for small and medium-sized network edge applications, offering 24 10/100 copper ports, 24 100 fiber ports, or 48 10/100 copper Power over Ethernet (PoE)
ports. These switches provide support for enterprise-based devices, such as computer workstations or IP
telephones.
A single OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch also supports two Gigabit Ethernet uplinks for high-bandwidth
connections to a backbone or server.
Stacked Configurations
In addition to working as individual, stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can also be
linked together to form a single, high-density virtual chassis known as a stack.
Stacking switches provides scalability by allowing users to quickly and easily expand 10/100 port density.
Twenty-four 10/100 ports are added for each OS6624 or OS6602-24 brought into the stack; twenty-four
10/100 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports are added for each OS6600-P24 brought into the stack; twentyfour 100 ports are added for each OS6600-U24 brought into the stack; forty-eight 10/100 ports are added
for each OS6648 or OS6602-48.
Up to eight switches can be stacked. OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can be mixed and matched in any
combination within the stack. This provides a virtual chassis with a 10/100 or 100 capacity of up to 384
ports.
As with the stand-alone configuration, a stacked virtual chassis configuration provides Gigabit Ethernet
uplinks to a backbone or server.
Note. For detailed information on stacking OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches into a virtual chassis, refer
to Chapter 4, “Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Family Stacks.”
Note on Terminology. In the user manuals provided with your switch, the terms switch, slot and NI
(Network Interface) refer to individual OmniSwitch 6600 Family units in standalone mode or within a
stacked configuration. The term CMM (Chassis Management Module) refers to stacked OmniSwitch 6600
Family units operating in primary or secondary CMM roles. (An OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch operating in an idle CMM role would normally be referred to as a switch, slot, or, NI.)

OmniSwitch 6600 Family Availability Features
Availability Features
The switch provides a broad variety of Availability features. Availability features are hardware- and
software-based safeguards that help prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem failure. In addition, some Availability features allow you to maintain or replace hardware components without powering off your switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help ensure that your switch is consistently available for your day-to-day network operations.
Hardware-related Availability features include:

Smart Continuous Switching
In stacked configurations, one OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch is designated as the primary “management module” for the stack. Because the stack can be thought of as a virtual chassis, the role of this
primary management switch is to monitor and manage the functions of the stack.
Similar to chassis-based switches such as the OmniSwitch 7700 and Omniswitch 7800, the stack also
allows users to assign an additional switch as a secondary management module. As with the OS7700 and
OS7800, the stack’s secondary switch immediately takes over management functions in the event of a
primary switch failure.
All other switches in the stack are considered idle, and act very much like Ethernet Network Interface
(ENI) modules in OS7700 and OS7800 switches, in that they provide Ethernet ports for 10/100 traffic.
The stack provides support for all idle switches during primary-to-secondary failover. In other words, if
the stack’s primary switch fails or goes offline for any reason, all idle switches will continue data transmission during the secondary switch’s takeover process. This Availability feature is referred to as Smart
Continuous Switching.
Incoming Layer 2 packets will continue to be sent to the appropriate egress port during failover. Spanning
Tree will continue handling BPDUs received on the switch ports, as well as port link up and down states.
The Spanning Tree topology will not be disrupted.
Note. Smart Continuous Switching is designed to maintain data flow only during primary/secondary
switch failover and is not intended to support long-term data flow. If both the primary and secondary
switches in the stack go offline, switch operations (including all 10/100 support) will be disabled.
For more information on primary, secondary, and idle switches, as well as the failover process, refer to
Chapter 4, “Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Family Stacks.”

Availability Features OmniSwitch 6600 Family
Software Rollback
Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the OmniSwitch 6600 Family
switches (in both standalone and stacked configurations) to return to a prior “last known good” version of
software in the event of a system software problem. The switch controls software rollback through its
resilient directory structure design (i.e., /flash/working and /flash/certified).
For detailed information on the software rollback feature, as well as the switch’s /flash/working and
/flash/certified directories, refer to the “Managing CMM Directory Content” chapter in the OmniSwitch
6600 Family Switch Management Guide.
Hot Swapping
Hot swapping refers to the action of adding, removing, or replacing back up power supplies, as well as
uplink modules and MiniGBICs, without powering off your switch and disrupting other components in the
switch or stack. This feature greatly facilitates hardware upgrades and maintenance and also allows you to
easily replace components in the unlikely event of hardware failure. The following hardware components
can be hot swapped:
• OS6600-BPS Back Up Power Supply
• OS6600-GNI-C2 Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Submodule
• OS6600-GNI-U2 Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Submodule
• MiniGBICs installed in the OS6600-GNI-U2 Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Submodule on OS6624, OS660-
U24, OS6600-P24, and OS6648 switches or the built-in MiniGBIC slots on OS6602-24 and OS660248 switches; MiniGBICs include:
- MiniGBIC-SX
- MiniGBIC-LX
- MiniGBIC-LH-70
• 100 Mbps SFPs installed in the OS6600-U24; SFPs include:
- SFP-100-LC-MM
- SFP-100-LC-SM15
- SFP-100-LC-SM40
- SFP-100-MTRJ-MM
Note. Stacking modules cannot be hot swapped at any time. For information on stacking modules, refer to
Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis and Hardware Components.”
For instructions on hot swapping back up power supplies, uplink modules, and MiniGBICs, refer to
Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis and Hardware Components.”

OmniSwitch 6600 Family Availability Features
Hardware Monitoring
Automatic Monitoring
Automatic monitoring refers to the switch’s built-in sensors that automatically monitor operations. If an
error is detected (e.g., over-threshold temperature), the switch immediately sends a trap to the user. The
trap is displayed on the console in the form of a text error message. (In the case of an over-threshold
temperature condition, the chassis displays an amber TEMP LED in addition to sending a trap.)
LEDs
LEDs, which provide visual status information, are provided on the chassis front panel. LEDs are used to
indicate conditions such as hardware and software status, temperature errors, link integrity, data flow, etc.
For detailed LED descriptions, refer to Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis and Hardware
Components.”
User-Driven Monitoring
User-driven hardware monitoring refers to CLI commands that are entered by the user in order to access
the current status of hardware components. The user enters “show” commands that output information to
the console. Monitoring information for chassis components such as the optional back up power supply,
chassis temperature sensor, and chassis fans is provided in Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Family Chassis
and Hardware Components.” Show commands for all features are described in detail in the OmniSwitch
CLI Reference Guide.

Application Examples OmniSwitch 6600 Family
Application Examples
The following application examples show two of the many ways OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can
be used in an enterprise network setting.
Single Office Building with 1000 Users
The following diagram shows converged voice and data applications, with 1000 users, in a single building
enterprise environment. Edge devices consist of a mixture of PCs and IP telephones. In this example, a
single OmniPCX 4400 in the core supports IP voice initiations and terminations. An OmniSwitch 7800
switch provides a port density of 1000 10/100 ports. The stackable OmniSwitch 6600 Family configurations provide redundant and dual connectivity from the edge to the redundant backbone/core, in which the
OmniSwitch 7800 core switches are used.
