OmniSwitch 6600 family switches are advanced 10/100 based stackable layer 3 workgroup
switches that provide wire rate L2+ switching, L3 routing and advanced services with high
availability for IP communications and mission-critical environments. A compact form factor, a
rich set of features and a high availability design makes the OS6600 a great choice for the
following applications:
•Enterprise workgroups/LAN wiring closets
•Edge deployments and branch offices
•Converged voice and data environments
•Power over Ethernet
•100BaseFX fiber to the desktop
The OmniSwitch 6600 family consists of the OmniSwitch 6600 and OmniSwitch
6602 series switches. The OmniSwitch 6600 provides 24/48 10/100 ports in
a 1.5U form factor with two expansion slots for optional two port Gigabit
stacking modules and/or two port fiber or copper Gigabit uplinks and an
internal slot on the back of the chassis for pluggable backup power supply.

•OmniSwitch 6600-P24 - 24 10/100 RJ45 ports with standards-based
PoE (uses external backup power supply)
New to the OS6600 family is the reengineered OS6602 series that is based
on the OS6600, but comes in a new 1U design and has a fixed configuration
that includes two ports of SFP (small form plugware) for Gigabit connectivity
and two ports for stacking built in. The OS6602 is completely interoperable
with the OS6600 including a mixed stack virtual chassis.

The Alcatel enterprise 10/100 LAN offering also includes the value based
10/100 L2+ stackable switches OmniStack 6124 and 6148.
Complementing the OS6600 and OS6100 10/100 fixed configuration
switches, the OmniStack 6300 series is the first Alcatel fixed configuration
Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 to the desktop series of switches.

Alcatel OmniSwitch 6600 Family
Alcatel’s fixed configuration switches are part of the Alcatel enterprise LAN offering that includes the larger
capacity, modular-based OmniSwitch 7700, 7800, and 8800 series of core switches. Together this family
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 control service costs and provides a limited lifetime warranty on all
OmniSwitch 6600 family switches.
Virtual Chassis
What is a virtual chassis? Essentially, a virtual chassis takes the best attributes of a modular chassis switch
and applies them to lower cost fixed configuration switches, allowing the enterprise to manage and scale
their network effectively and affordably. With the addition of the OS6602 a virtual chassis can consist of up
to eight switches of either the OS6602, the OS6600 or a mix of both.
The virtual chassis provides:
•single IP address management
•easy synchronization of switch software and configurations across all switches within a single stack
•dedicated fault tolerant backplane using hardware stacking
•link aggregation across chassis
•N:1 management backup because each switch is fully capable of providing management for the
virtual chassis
When a group of OS6600/OS6602 switches are configured in a virtual chassis, an automatic election
takes place to elect the primary and secondary management entity. If the primary or secondary switch fail,
recurrent automatic elections take place for their replacement.
Another great benefit of the virtual chassis is that it can be very quickly and simply scaled up, torn down or
reconfigured to suit the needs of the enterprise.
High Availability
The OS6602/OS6600 support cost effective 1:1 backup power supplies, fault tolerant loop stacking, and
virtual chassis link aggregation preventing single points of failure. Any switch within a virtual chassis that
provides management functionality and automatic election of primary and secondary managers provides N:1
management redundancy.
Quality of service in the network addresses availability by ensuring mission critical applications, such as IP
telephony and other delay sensitive applications, receive the expedited forwarding they require to be
available and effective. The OS6600 family supports per port queuing, flow-based QoS rules and bandwidth
management to help guarantee mission applications are available.

•Locator service to locate end devices for
troubleshooting and virus containment
Secure Networking
Security is a primary focus of every CIO. To address this concern, the OS6600
family provides features that support a multi-layered approach to network
security. Access to the network is controlled by either filtering out unwanted
traffic, forcing authentication of the user, or allowing only pre-authorized
devices access. Switch administration controls include support for encrypted
management communication and authentication of the administrator. Further
switch management granularity can be configured so that administrators only
have access to features under their responsibility or expertise.
The OS6600 family also supports emerging technologies that identify and
quarantine devices that do not meet administrator defined requirements. In the
quarantined environment the end device has access to network resources that
remediate the device and return it to a state where network access can then
be granted.
Simplified Management
It’s very common today to find small IT departments tasked with managing
large enterprise networks. Typically, the IT department is staffed with people
of varying expertise who don’t have the luxury of time or budget for extensive
training. To address this situation, large networks need to be easy to
install, manage, and troubleshoot. Alcatel tackles this situation by providing
OmniVista, a powerful network management platform for its AOS based
OmniSwitch family.
> 4 ALCATEL
When an enterprise network uses an all AOS-based solution, training,
installation, configuration and troubleshooting is minimized. For that reason,
Alcatel designed the OS6600 family to have an AOS-based CLI, just like the
larger modular-based OmniSwitch.
Additionally, the Web-based manager has the same look and feel across the
AOS line of switches and provides a point and click method with online help to
ease configuration of new features.

Network Applications
10/100 Advanced Workgroup
The AoS based OmniSwitch 6600 series, using the virtual chassis
design, provides high availability to support mission critical
applications at the edge of your network. When combined with
the OmniSwitch 7000/8000 chassis-based solutions, you get the
highest availability and easiest to manage edge-to-core network
in the industry.
The OS6600 family’s compact fixed form factor design, and
modular expandability provides an easy path to scale any
workgroup up to 384 10/100 ports and 16 Gigabit Ethernet
ports in a single stack.
Power over Ethernet
By adding the OS6600-P24 to your existing virtual chassis, you
get seamless migration to standards-based power over Ethernet
capability for IP phones, wireless access points, Web cameras or
any other 802.3af compliant end-devices.
Fiber to the Desktop
The OS6600-U24 offers the ability to provide 100BaseFX fiber to
the desktop connectivity that is typically needed for security or
extended reach needs. The OS6600-U24’s SFP design is costeffective, extremely flexible, and supports multimode or single
mode fiber for distances up to 40km on a per port basis.
