The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6400 family is a set of stackable layer 2+
Gigabit Ethernet local area network (LAN) switches.
The compact, low-power, eco-friendly OmniSwitch 6400 family is a highly
available, easily managed set of switches that can be implemented with the
widely deployed Alcatel-Lucent Operating Software (AOS).
The OmniSwitch 6400 family is ideal for small and medium-sized campus,
branch offices and residential or business services as an Ethernet demarcation
device (EDD).
Key benefits
Multi-layered security
The OmniSwitch 6400 family provides multi-layer security. The switches also
offer a range of features including user authentication, quarantine virtual
local area networks (VLANs), access control lists, encryption and denial of
service protection.
Advanced network policies
For secured and converged networks, the OmniSwitch 6400 family offers
advanced network policies ensuring users and applications receive the priority
and performance they need.
Manageability
Alcatel-Lucent OmniVistaTM is a comprehensive set of network
management applications and tools that can manage the OmniSwitch 6400 switches.
Universally supported across Alcatel-Lucent enterprise networking devices,
OmniVistaTM allows managers to monitor network activity, configure
and troubleshoot devices and manage an entire network from a single
platform.
Scalability
The OmniSwitch 6400 family easily scales from small to mid-sized
enterprises.
Server aggregation
With high performance and a rich feature set in a compact format, the
OmniSwitch 6400 family is ideal for space-limited SMB data centers.
Redundancy
By providing true redundancy, the switches ensure a reliable network for
converged applications.
Green
Alcatel-Lucent designs all of its switches to be “green”. These
environmentally-friendly switches promote eco-sustainability by offering the
lowest power consumption rates available in most markets. The OmniSwitch 6400
family is compliant with environmental standards including RoHS (the
restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment), the WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment)
directive and NEBS (network equipment-building system) Level 3.
Key features
The OmniSwitch 6400 family is a secure, stackable set of switches that
