To stay competitive, 21st century businesses must take advantage of new
networking technologies that deliver quick and secure access to vital information
from any location. Customers expect and demand that customizable user-centric
services be securely provided over an always available environment, and
they want to be able to access it from anywhere such as over the Internet.

Most enterprise networks have Ethernet-based infrastructures where
workgroup switches supply the bulk of switch ports needed, making them
an ideal target for performance improvements at attractive prices. With the
latest workgroup switch technologies from Alcatel-Lucent, it’s possible to
provide power-over-Ethernet across your campus for true plug-and-play
connectivity for wireless LAN access points, IP phones, and other network devices.

Alcatel-Lucent’s switches also take advantage of and exploit network
intelligence improving user security while reducing operating expenses,
capital expenditures, training and day-to-day management costs.

Alcatel-Lucent has designed the OmniStack 6200 (OmniStack 6200) family of
stackable Ethernet switches to address enterprise and residential networking
needs. They are fixed configuration, 10/100 copper or 100BaseX fiber layer-2
switches that deliver the advanced features and services demanded by users.
These 12-, 24- or 48-port Fast Ethernet switches provide the same advanced
capabilities previously available only in Gigabit-class switches, making them
an excellent, inexpensive edge device.

The OmniStack 6200s provide wire rate layer-2 forwarding and advanced
layer 2-4 services. They also securely support advanced quality of service
with advanced user and traffic classification capabilities for exceptional
video, voice, and data performance.

Every OmniStack 6200 switch comes with two 10/100/1000 copper ports that
can be used with standard Ethernet cabling for fault-tolerant dedicated
stacking links or as Gigabit ports in a standalone configuration. They also
come with two additional Gigabit combo ports that provide ports for
upstream connectivity to the network or to high-speed servers. Combo ports
provide the user the ability to attach via standard copper Ethernet cabling or
fiber using industry standard optical transceivers.

A compact, one unit (1U) high form factor, all in one stackable design and a
comprehensive set of features makes the OmniStack 6200 perfect for:

• Enterprise workgroups / LAN wiring closets

• Edge deployments, small-/medium-sized businesses and branch offices

• Power-over-Ethernet

• Residential and business Ethernet access distribution devices
(per floor or per building MDU) for triple play services delivery.

The currently available Alcatel-Lucent OmniStack 6200 switches are:

OS-LS-6212, OS-LS-6224, OS-LS-6248

which are Fast Ethernet L2+ stackable fixed
configuration chassis in a 1U form factor consisting respectively of 12, 24 or 48
10/100 RJ-45 ports, two 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and two combo ports.

Combo ports consist of two additional 10/100/1000 RJ-45 and two mini-GBIC ports.

Mini-GBIC ports support Gigabit or 100FX Ethernet mini-GBIC (SFP) optical
transceivers. Stacking capability uses the two 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and standard
Ethernet cabling.

OS-LS-6212P, OS-LS-6224P, OS-LS-6248P, which are Fast Ethernet L2+ stackable

fixed configuration chassis in a 1U form factor consisting respectively of 12, 24 or
48 10/100 RJ-45 ports with power over Ethernet, two 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and
two combo ports.

OS-LS-6224U, which is a Fast Ethernet L2+ stackable fixed configuration chassis

in a 1U form factor consisting of 24 100BaseX SFP ports, two 10/100/1000 RJ-45
ports and two combo ports. The 24 SFP ports accept industry standard 100Base-X
optical transceivers.

The OmniStack 6200 family uses a modular external backup power solution that
provides redundant chassis and PoE power on a 1:1 basis.

The OmniStack 6200 family complements the existing portfolio of Alcatel-Lucent
enterprise fixed-configuration workgroup switches which includes:

I OmniSwitch 6602 family switches: stackable layer-3 10/100 with Gig uplinks

I OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 family switches: stackable layer-3 10/100/1000 capable of

10Gig uplinks.

OmniStack 6200 are supported by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network
Management System and facilitates management of a converged, multi-vendor
equipped network by supporting 802.1ab (LLDP link layer discovery protocol) and
the media-endpoint discover (LLDP-MED) extensions.

Alcatel-Lucent’s fixed configuration switches are part of Alcatel-Lucent’s enterprise
portfolio that includes the OmniSwitch 7000 and 9000 series of modular
aggregation and core switches. 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-Lucent understands the need to offer investment protection and provides
a limited lifetime hardware warranty on OmniStack 6200, OmniSwitch 6602, 6800
and 6850 families of switches.

Cost effective, enterprise workgroup switch

The OmniStack 6200 family offers small, medium or large enterprise networks a
cost-effective and secure means of deploying PoE on every port, providing users
mobility across the campus. By providing wire-speed QoS and security to the edge,
Alcatel-Lucent is able to ensure a highly available network for important
applications such as IP voice communications.

The OmniStack 6200s support industry-standard CLI, and provide simplified stack
management using standard Ethernet cabling. This reduces the complexity and
costs associated with training, installation, configuration, and maintenance.

Superior architecture

This switch family also provides a superior architecture with four useable Gigabit
Ethernet ports that support stacking and multi-Gigabit uplink connectivity without
sacrificing user ports. Since the OS-LS-6212 and OS-LS-6224 are fan-less designs,
they are a perfect fit for environments with severe noise restrictions.

In addition, the advanced VLAN classification offered by the OmniStack 6200
family improves partitioning of users and applications, greatly improving
security and enabling better performance for network applications including
voice and video.
