DETAILED PRODUCT FEATURES
Simplified manageability
Management interfaces
• Intuitive, familiar Alcatel-Lucent operating
system (AOS) which is modular by design
and common to all OmniSwitch families,
reduces training costs and TCO
• Easy to use, point-and-click, web-based
element manager (WebView) with built-in
help for easy configuration
• Integrated with Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista™
products for network management
• Full configuration and reporting using
SNMPv1/2/3 across all OmniSwitch
families to facilitate third-party network
management system integration
• Remote switch access using Telnet or
Secure Shell (SSH)
• File upload using USB, TFTP, FTP, SFTP, or
SCP for faster configuration
• Human-readable ASCII-based configuration
files for off-line editing, bulk configuration
and out-of-the-box auto-provisioning
Monitoring and troubleshooting
• Local (on the flash) and remote server
logging: Syslog and command log
• Port based mirroring for troubleshooting
and lawful interception; supports four
sessions with multiple sources-to-one
destination
• Policy based mirroring allows selection of
the type of traffic to mirror by using QoS
policies
• Remote port mirroring facilitates passing
mirrored traffic through the network to a
remotely connected device
• Port monitoring feature allows capture
of Ethernet packets to a file to assist in
troubleshooting
• sFlow v5 and RMON for advanced
monitoring and reporting capabilities for
statistics, history, alarms and events
• IP tools: ping and trace route
• ITU-T Y.1731 and IEEE 802.1ag Ethernet
OA&M: Connectivity Fault Management
and performance measurements (layer-2
ping and link trace)
• IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile
(EFM) for link monitoring , remote fault
detection, and loopback control (layer-1
ping)
• Dying Gasp support via SNMP and syslog
messages;
• Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)
detects and disables unidirectional links
on fiber optic interfaces.
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM):
Real-time diagnostics of fiber connections
for early detection of optical signal
deterioration
• Link Monitoring: link flap detection and link
error counts to identify bad connections
and automatically make adjustments to use
the links that are good
• Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR): used
for locating break or other discontinuity in
copper cables.
Network configuration
• Auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 ports
automatically configure port speed and
duplex setting
• Auto MDI/MDIX automatically configures
transmit and receive signals to support
straight through and crossover cabling
• BOOTP/DHCP client with option 60 allows
auto-configuration of the switch for
simplified deployment
• DHCP v4/v6 relay to forward client
requests to a DHCP server
• Alcatel-Lucent Mapping Adjacency
Protocol (AMAP) for building topology
maps
• IEEE 802.1AB LLDP with MED extensions
for automated device discovery and IP
phone provisioning
• Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol
(MVRP) and GARP VLAN Registration
Protocol (GVRP) for 802.1Q/1ak-compliant
VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN creation
• Auto QoS for switch management and IP
phone traffic
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) for network-
wide time synchronization
• Dynamic Virtual Network Profiles
(vNP) for automating virtual machine/
device attachment to the network with
guaranteed SLA
