OmniSwitch 6800 Series

Stacked Configurations

In addition to working as individual, stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches (except for
the OS6800-U24) can also be linked together to form a single, high-density virtual chassis known as a
stack.
OmniSwitch 6800 Series Stacked Configuration (Stack of Four Shown)
Stacking switches provides scalability by allowing users to quickly and easily expand 10/100/1000 port
density. Twenty-four 10/100/1000 ports are added for each OS6800-24 brought into the stack and
forty-eight 10/100/1000 ports are added for each OS6800-48.
Up to eight switches can be stacked. OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches can be mixed and matched in any
combination within the stack. This provides a virtual chassis with a 10/100/1000 capacity of up to 384
ports.
Note. Other stackable Alcatel-Lucent products, such as the OmniSwitch 6600 Series switch, cannot be
added to an OmniSwitch 6800 Series virtual chassis. For comprehensive information on managing stacked
configurations, refer to
