OmniSwitch 6850e
STACKABLE LAN SWITCH
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch™ 6850E Stackable LAN Switch (SLS) is the latest advanced stack-
able gigabit Ethernet switch in the OmniSwitch family of products.  The OmniSwitch 6850E is 
available in 24 and 48 port configurations and provides wire-rate layer-2 and layer-3 switching 
simultaneously for IPv4 and IPv6. The OmniSwitch 6850E supports fine grained controls for 
quality of service (QoS) and for security including network access control (NAC), along with  
full support for 802.3at compliant power over Ethernet (PoE) and additional 10Gig ports for 
smooth expansion of existing installations where PoE+ or SFP+ is needed.
These versatile LAN switches can  
be positioned: 
•  At the edge of mid- to large-sized 
converged enterprise networks 
•  At the aggregation layer
•  In a small enterprise network core 
They are also suitable advanced CPEs  
for Ethernet access for metro and  
managed services.

Versatile features and models offering:
- Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces
- IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant PoE
- Optional 10GigE plug-in module delivers additional  
2 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports
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.
Support for 10GigE SFP+ LRM optics
Allows customers to cost effectively upgrade from  gigabit to 10 
Gigabit Ethernet using their existing MMF fiber cabling, eliminat-
ing expensive optical cable replacement 
Low power consumption, full support for 802.3at PoE+ providing up to 
30W of PoE per port  
The OmniSwitch 6850E ensures efficient power management, 
reduces operating expenses and lowers total cost of ownership 
(TCO). Ensures that the new devices such as CCTV cameras, WLAN 
access points, and full featured desktop sets can be supported
Wire-rate performance for switching and routing at 10G and 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
Redundancy at all levels including power supplies, software and 
hot-swappable Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules 
A field-upgradeable solution that makes the network highly 
available and reduces operating expenses 
Extensive security features for network access control (NAC), policy 
enforcement and attack containment 
Fully secures the network at the edge, at no additional cost
Application fluency for multi-media traffic 
Ability to detect a SIP-based conversation on the network, assign 
desired QoS treatment, and monitor the actual QoS received. The 
switch also records real-time conversation quality information 
concerning packet loss, delay, jitter, MOS score, and R-Factor
Provides simplified and resilient network architecture with 
automated controls for providing differentiated service levels, 
reduced operational complexity and reduced costs.
