Switch gestionado Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6560

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6560 is a managed stackable multi-gigabit Ethernet LAN switch designed for campus access in enterprise networks. This 1U rack-mountable switch provides 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, 10GbE uplinks and 20GbE stacking capability, a switching capacity of 168 Gbit/s and a MAC address table supporting up to 16,000 entries. Built on the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), the OmniSwitch 6560 delivers a scalable, energy-efficient edge solution with broad IEEE standard support for reliable wired and multi-gig wireless connectivity.

Advantages

The OmniSwitch 6560 offers flexible scalability and stackability for growing networks, multi-gigabit port support for high-speed IEEE 802.11ac/ax wireless devices, and 10GbE uplinks for increased aggregation bandwidth. Its managed L2+/L3 features, compliance with extensive IEEE networking standards and an AOS-based software platform provide dependable performance, security and centralized management. The unit’s 1U design and moderate weight make it suitable for standard rack deployments while maintaining low power consumption.

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting brackets. Connect access devices to the 24 RJ-45 Gigabit ports and uplink aggregation to the 10GbE ports. Configure stacking links if multiple OmniSwitch 6560 units will be used together. Use the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) management interfaces (CLI, web GUI or network management platform) to apply VLANs, L2/L3 routing, QoS and security policies according to your network design.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a well-ventilated rack space and ensure firmware is updated to the latest AOS release. For multi-gig wireless deployments, verify connected APs support IEEE 802.3bz and plan uplink and stacking bandwidth to match traffic requirements.
