HARDENED LAN SWITCH

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch™ 6855 Hardened LAN Switch (HLS) models are industrial grade,  
managed, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches designed to operate reliably in harsh  
electrical environments and severe temperatures.

This superior, rugged hardware design, 
coupled with the widely deployed and 
field-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating 
System (AOS), makes the OmniSwitch 6855 
ideal for industrial and mission-critical 
applications that require wider operating 
temperature ranges, more stringent EMC/
EMI requirements and an optimized 
feature set for high security, reliability, 
performance and easy management.

The target applications for these versatile 
LAN switches are power utilities, trans-
portation and traffic control systems, 
industrial factory floor installations, 
video surveillance systems and outdoor 
installations, all of which require gigabit 
backbone connectivity.

Ruggedized hardware design

Operates at a wider temperature range from -40°C to +75°C, with-
stands greater shock, vibrations, temperature and EMI/EMC tests

Convection cooling for fanless models or temperature triggered 
fans for 24 port models

Increased reliability, and lower acoustic levels

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on all copper models

Enables converged applications by providing power to IP phones, 
surveillance cameras, and wireless access points

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

Wire-rate switching and routing at gigabit speeds. Advanced 
services incorporated in the operating system (OS): quality of 
service (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

Extensive security features for network access control (NAC), 
policy enforcement and attack containment

Fully secures the network at the edge, at no additional cost

Hardware-based virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) support on 
OmniSwitch 6855-U24X

Enterprise-wide cost reduction through hardware consolidation 
to achieve network segmentation and security without additional 
hardware installation

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 cost-effective installation and deployment

Ready for Metro Ethernet access: VLAN stacking, multicast switch-
ing, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping/ option 
82, ITU-T Y.1731, IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah and MAC-Forced 
Forwarding (MEF 9/14 compliant)

Simplifies Metro Ethernet network OA&M for service providers
