•Integration with SNMP manager Alcatel- Lucent OmniVista for network wide management

•Supports RFC 2819 RMON group (1-Statistics, 2-History, 3-Alarm & 9-Events)

•Network Time Protocol (NTP) for network wide time synchronization

•Alcatel-Lucent Mapping Adjacency Protocol (AMAP) for building topology maps within OmniVista

•802.1AB – Link Layer Discovery Protocol with MED extentions

•Port based mirroring for troubleshooting and lawful interception, supports four sessions with multiple sources-to-one destination configuration

•Policy based mirroring – Allows selection of the type of traffic to mirror by using QoS policies

•Remote port mirroring

•Port monitoring feature that allows capture of Ethernet packets to a file, or for on-screen display to assist in troubleshooting

•sFlow v5 support to monitor and effectively control and manage the network usage

•Local (on the flash) and remote logging (Syslog)

•GVRP for 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN creation

•UDLD for detecting one way connections

HIGH AVAILABILITY

•Ring Rapid Spanning Tree optimized for ring topology to provide less than 100ms convergence time

•802.1w rapid recovery spanning tree allows subsecond failover to redundant link

14 Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850

•Alcatel-Lucent per-VLAN spanning tree (1x1)

•802.1D spanning tree for loop free topology and link redundancy

•802.1s multiple spanning tree

•Fast forwarding mode on user ports to bypass 30-second delay for spanning tree

•Static and 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation that supports automatic configuration of link aggregates with other switches

•Broadcast storm control

•Redundant 1:1 power provided by the OS6850-BPS

•BPDU blocking – automatically shuts down switch ports being used as user ports if a spanning tree BPDU packet is seen. Prevents unauthorized spanning-tree enabled attached bridges from operating.

•Priority queues: eight hardware-based queues per port

CONVERGENCE/ TRIPLE PLAY

•Traffic prioritization: Flow-based QoS with internal and external (a.k.a., remarking) prioritization

•Bandwidth management: flow based bandwidth management, ingress policing/egress shaping and port based egress shaping

•Queue management: Random Early Detect/Discard (RED), configurable de-queuing algorithm; Strict Priority, Weighted and Deficit Round Robin.

•PKI authentication for SSH access

•Support for host integrity check and remediation VLAN

•Support for Alcatel-Lucent Quarantine Manager and quarantine VLAN
