BENEFITS
|
|
Versatile features and models offering Gigabit
and 10 Gigabit interfaces, IEEE 802.3af-compliant
Power over Ethernet (PoE), and 10/100 models
upgradable to Gigabit with a software license
|
With the variety of interfaces and models, the
OmniSwitch 6850 family meets any customer configuration need and offers excellent investment
protection and flexibility, as well as ease of
deployment, operation and maintenance.
|
|
High availability: Resiliency of the OmniSwitch 6850
is provided through a superior architecture – virtual
chassis design with redundant stacking links,
primary/secondary unit failover, hot-swappable
power options and configuration rollback.
|
A field-upgradable solution that allows for optimum
network availability, reduces operating complexity
and cost, and optimizes response time for users
and applications
|
|
Wire-rate performance for switching and routing
at Gigabit and 10 Gigabit speeds. Advanced
services are incorporated in the operating system;
for example, QoS, access control lists (ACLs), L2/L3,
VLAN stacking, and IPv6.
|
Outstanding performance when supporting
real-time voice, data, and video applications
for converged scalable networks
|
|
Low power consumption and dynamic PoE allocation
|
The OmniSwitch 6850 provides efficient power
management, reduces operating expenses and
lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) through the
lowest power consumption in its class and dynamic
PoE allocation, which delivers only the power
needed by the attached device.
|
|
Superior user and network security feature set
|
Enhanced security is fully integrated in the
operating system and is adaptive to user mobility,
and has comprehensive admission control, intrusion
detection, containment and remediation at the
edge of the network at no additional cost.
|
|
Advanced, out-of-the-box auto-configuration, Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) network policies
and dynamic VLAN allocation
|
Automated switch setup and configuration and
end-to-end VLAN provisioning support costeffective installation and deployment
|
|
Ready for Metro Ethernet access: VLAN stacking,
multicast switching, Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) snooping/option 82, Y.1731,
IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah and MAC-Forced
Forwarding (MEF 9/14 complaint)
|
Simplifies Metro Ethernet service providers’
network operations, administration and
management
