Omni Switch/Router Chassis And Power Supplies - Alcatel Omni Switch/Router User Manual

Chassis and Power Supplies
Alcatel's Omni Switch/Router (OmniS/R) is an advanced, multi-layer switching platform (Layer
2 and 3) that supports the most demanding switch requirements. With Omni Switch/Router,
network administrators can replace aging
Gigabit Ethernet backbones.
Beginning with Release 4.4,
supported. Beginning with Release 4.5, ATM, Token
Ring, M013, and Mammoth-based Ethernet Modules are
no longer supported.
Omni Switch/Router modules can be distinguished
from older OmniSwitch modules by the X in the
module name. For example, the
OmniSwitch module whereas the
Omni Switch/Router module.
Omni Switch/Router has a distributed switching fabric. In a 9-slot chassis operating at full
duplex, Omni Switch/Router offers an aggregate 22 Gigabit per second (Gbps) distributed
switching fabric. In addition, Omni Switch/Router offers new high density switching modules,
including auto-sensing 10/100 Ethernet modules that offer high speed network connections to
servers and desktops. (See Omni Switch/Router Applications and Configurations on page 1-5
for examples.)
