OmniSwitch 6450 Switches

Combo Ports

Combo ports are individually configurable to be 10/100/1000BaseT or 100FX/1000X that can support
SFP transceivers for short, long and very long distances.

Non-combo Fiber Ports

The non-combo SFP ports provide uplink capability through the use of supported SFP transceivers.

OmniSwitch 6450 Feature Overview

Security Features

OmniSwitch 6450 switches offer extensive security features for network access control, policy
enforcement and attack containment, enabling fully secure networks and OmniVista Network
Management System (NMS) support.

Availability Features

OmniSwitch 6450 switches incorporate advanced Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) protocols to
ensure high availability for mission critical applications. Availability features are hardware- and software-
based safeguards that help to prevent the loss of data flow in the unlikely event of a subsystem failure.
In addition, some availability features allow users to maintain or replace hardware components without
powering off the switch or interrupting switch operations. Combined, these features provide added
resiliency and help to ensure that the switch or virtual chassis is consistently available for high-impact
network operations.
Hardware-related availability features include:
•

Software Rollback

•
Hot Swapping
•
Hardware Monitoring
Software Rollback
Software rollback (also referred to as image rollback) essentially allows the switch to return to a prior
"last known good" version of software in the event of a system software problem. The switch controls
software rollback through its resilient directory structure design (i.e., /flash/working and /flash/certified).
For detailed information on the software rollback feature, as well as the switch's /flash/working and
/flash/certified directories, refer to the "Managing CMM Directory Content" chapter in the OmniSwitch
6250/6450 Switch Management Guide.
