OMNISWITCH 6860

STACKABLE LAN SWITCHES

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch™ 6860 Stackable LAN Switches (SLS) are compact, high-density

Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 10 GigE platforms designed for the most demanding converged networks.

OS6860-P24

OS6860E-U28 OS6860E-48

In addition to high performance and

availability, the OmniSwitch 6860 offers

enhanced quality of service (QoS), user

authentication, deep packet inspection

(DPI) and comprehensive security

features to secure the network edge while

accommodating user and device mobility

with a high degree of integration between

the wired and wireless LAN. The enhanced

models of the OmniSwitch 6860 family

also supports emerging services such as

application fingerprinting for network

analytics and up to 60 watts of Power

over Ethernet (PoE) per port, making it

ready to meet the evolving business

needs of enterprise networks.

These versatile LAN switches can

be positioned:

• At the edge of mid- to large-sized

converged enterprise networks

• At the aggregation layer

• In a small enterprise network core

• In the data center for GigE server

connectivity and SDN applications

FEATURES BENEFITS

• Versatile features and models offering high-density

Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces

• Up to eight switches can be connected using Virtual

Chassis technology to create a single chassis-like

entity with up to 32 10 Gigabit uplinks and 384

Gigabit ports

• With the variety of interfaces and models, the OmniSwitch 6860 family

meets any customer configuration need and offers excellent investment

protection and flexibility.

• The OmniSwitch 6860 Virtual Chassis increases system redundancy,

resiliency and high availability while simplifying deployment, operations and

management of the network.

• IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant PoE of 30 W per

port on all ports

• The enhanced models of the OmniSwitch 6860 family

support up to 60 W of PoE per port on four ports

With its advanced PoE capabilities and high density of PoE ports, the

OmniSwitch 6860 is ideal for converged campus deployments by offering

deployment flexibility, simplifying the wiring and reducing the time to

deploy edge devices such as VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, 802.11ac

access points and emerging devices that require higher than 30 W, such

as video displays or even a small network switch or a thin virtual desktop

infrastructure (VDI) client.

• Hardware-accelerated DPI available on all models

• Application monitoring and fingerprinting are available

on the enhanced models

• DPI technology allows for real-time classification of flows at the application

level, monitoring and QoS treatment to assign higher priority and more

bandwidth to business-critical applications.

• By enabling the application monitoring functionality on the OmniSwitch

6860, network administrators can obtain a comprehensive view of up to

1000 applications running in the network. This type of visibility can be

used to optimize the performance of the network as well as apply adequate

control.

the mixed personal and corporate environment for improved visibility and

control for IT.

The OmniSwitch 6860 is SDN ready.

• Supporting programmable AOS RESTful APIs, OpenFlow

and OpenStack allow the creation of specialized

services.

• Opens the door for fast deployment of new network services that meet

employees’ needs to continuously adopt new applications that support the

business.

• The support of SDN reassures customers that their investment is ready for

the future and enables interoperability with third-party solutions.

ALCATELLUCENT OMNISWITCH 6860 MODELS

The OmniSwitch 6860 family offers customers an extensive selection of Gigabit fixed-configuration switches with up to 60 watts of PoE per

port and power supply options that accommodate the most demanding requirements. The models are in a 1RU form factor and are 19-inch

rack-mountable. They all have four built-in 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports that support 10 Gigabits and 1000-X, two 20 Gigabit QSFP+ ports used as

Virtual Chassis connections, USB ports and console ports.

There are four basic models in the OmniSwitch 6860 family and five enhanced models. All of the OmniSwitch 6860 PoE models support

PoE+, up to 30 watts of PoE on all ports; however only the enhanced models in the family support up to 60 watts of PoE on the first four

ports. The enhanced models also have an Ethernet management port (EMP) port and a built-in co-processor that can be used for running

Enhanced network services such as application fingerprinting and others in the future.
