The OmniSwitch 6800-24 (OS6800-24) is a 24 port, 10/100/1000 fixed stackable chassis.
•
The OmniSwitch 6800-48 (OS6800-48) is a 48 port, 10/100/1000 fixed stackable chassis. This switch
•
also supports a 10 Gigabit uplink module.
The OmniSwitch 6800-U24 (OS6800-U24) is a 24 fiber 1000 Mbps SFP port, chassis. This switch also
•
supports a 10 Gigabit uplink module.
The OmniSwitch 6800-24L (OS6800-24L) is a 24 port fixed stackable chassis. This chassis has 20
•
unshared 10/100 ports, which can be upgraded to 10/100/1000 ports.
The OmniSwitch 6800-48L (OS6800-48L) is a 48 port fixed stackable chassis. This chassis has 44
•
unshared 10/100 ports, which can be upgraded to 10/100/1000 ports.
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches are based on the same software architecture as OmniSwitch 7000 and
8000 series switches (i.e., OS7700, OS7800, and OS8800). They are designed to meet the most stringent
requirements for mission-critical networks.
Whether operating as a single switch or as a stack, the OmniSwitch 6800 Series offers effective availabil-
ity, resiliency, and security features and are ideal for the following network applications:
Enterprise workgroups/LAN wiring closets
•
Edge deployments and branch offices
•
L3 aggregation/distribution layer switches in three-tier networks
•
Small enterprise core switching
•
Quality of service (QoS) for mission critical applications
•
Data center server clusters
•
Note on Terminology. In the user guides provided with your OmniSwitch 6800 Series switch, the terms
stack and virtual chassis are interchangeable terms referring to OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches in a
stacked configuration. The terms module, switch, slot and element are used to refer to individual switches
within a stacked configuration. The terms Chassis Management Module (CMM) and management module
refer to those switches operating in a stack either in primary or secondary management roles. OmniSwitch
6800 Series switches operating in an idle role are essentially acting as network interface modules and
therefore may be referred to as Network Interfaces (NIs).
10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports
The OS6800-24 switch includes 24 10/100/1000BaseT RJ-45 ports on the front panel. The OS6800-48
switch includes 48 10/100/1000BaseT RJ-45 ports on the front panel. For both chassis types, the last four
10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports are combo ports. The OS6800-U24, OS6800-24L, and OS6800-48L also offer
four 10/100/1000 RJ-45 combo ports. See
Each copper port is capable of auto-MDI/MDI-X sensing. The 10/100/1000BaseT ports will operate in
full/half duplex mode when the speed is 10/100 Mbps. (When operating in 1000 Mbps, only full duplex
mode is supported.)
