Riverstone Networks 6850 manual The Switches Provide

Today's enterprise networks require Gigabit Ethernet switches that are feature-rich, reliable, and capable of supporting converged applications at low cost of ownership.

The OmniSwitch 6850 series, similar to the existing Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch products, uses the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), which ensures an easy and economical way to upgrade or deploy a new Ethernet network. The flexible configuration options offered by the OmniSwitch 6850 family makes it suitable for a small/medium network in the core or at the edge of a large network. Also, the OmniSwitch 6850 protects your investment with native support of IPv4 and IPv6 switching.

THE SWITCHES PROVIDE:

■Choice of PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) and non-PoE models

■Triple-speed 10/100/1000 interfaces and 10Gig uplinks

■Fast Ethernet interfaces upgradeable to Gigabit via a software license key without any network reconfiguration

■Gigabit fiber interfaces (SFP) supporting 100BaseX, dual-speed and 1000BaseX optical transceivers

■Stacking capability for virtual chassis redundancy

■Power supply choice (AC, DC, PoE) for flexible deployment

■IPv4 and IPv6 layer-2 and layer-3 switching for future-proof investment

■Advanced quality of service (QoS) to support mission-critical and triple-play applications

This family takes advantage of the extensive security and network management features provided by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network Management System (NMS).

THE TARGET APPLICATIONS FOR THESE VERSATILE LAN SWITCHES ARE:

■Enterprise workgroups for edge deployments / LAN wiring closets

■L3 aggregation / distribution layer switches in three-tier networks

■Small enterprise core switching

■Ethernet access and aggregation for residential / metro triple-play applications

■Converged data / voice / video networks
