OmniSwitch 6850e
STACKABLE LAN SWITCH
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch™ 6850E Stackable LAN Switch (SLS) family offers  advanced 
stackable gigabit Ethernet switches for the enterprise networks.  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 as 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.
Hardware-based virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) 
support 
Enterprise-wide cost reduction through hardware consolidation to achieve 
network segmentation and security without additional hardware installation. 
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 operat-
ing 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, soft-
ware 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. 
Enhanced Unified Access features for converged campus 
network solutions 
•  SIP Fluency to provision & monitor QOS treatment of 
SIP flows
•  Airgroup™ Network Services for Bonjour speaking 
devices
• Integrated Policy with User Network Profile 
•  Citrix VDI fluency enables  differentiated services for 
VDI flows
Unified Access and Application fluent Networks provide resilient architecture 
with automated controls, enhanced security and simplified management for 
both wired and wireless users resulting in reduced operational complexity & 
lesser cost.
User Network Profiles add intelligence to the network to automatically adapt as 
users move around the enterprise network.
Integration of services enable employees to access same applications and 
service across wired and wireless access and thus gives a consistent, seamless 
user experience.
