6850 Stackable LAN Switch family offers versatile, fixed-configuration
layer-3 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, which provide advanced services, high performance, and
exceptional value. All of the models in the family are stackable and perform wire-rate, Gigabit switching and
routing for both IPv4 and IPv6, delivering intelligent services to the edge of the network with optimal quality
of service (QoS) and integrated security, as well as network access control (NAC).

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.

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.
