• Dual image and dual configuration file storage provides backup
• Human readable ASCII based configuration files for offline editing and
bulk configuration
• BootP/DHCP client allows auto-config of switch IP information to
simplify deployment
• 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

• Auto QoS for switch management traffic as well as traffic from Alcatel-Lucent
IP phones
Troubleshooting
• Port-based mirroring
• Remote-port mirroring
• Policy-based mirroring - Allows selection of the type of traffic to mirror by
using QoS policies
• Port monitoring feature that allows capture of Ethernet packets to a file, or
for on-screen display to assist in troubleshooting
• sFlow v5 support to monitor and effectively control and manage the
network usage
• Local (on the flash) and remote logging (Syslog)
• IP tools: ping and trace
• 802.1ag Ethernet OAM (L2 ping and trace)
High availability
• Ring Rapid Spanning Tree optimized for ring topology to provide less than
100ms convergence time
• 802.1w Rapid Recovery Spanning Tree allows sub-second failover to
redundant link
• Alcatel-Lucent per-VLAN spanning tree (1x1)
• 802.1D spanning tree for loop free topology and link redundancy
• 802.1s multiple spanning tree
• Fast forwarding mode on user ports to bypass 30-second delay for
spanning tree
• Static and 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation that supports automatic
configuration of link aggregates with other switches
• Broadcast storm control
• BPDU blocking – automatically shuts down switch ports being used as user
ports if a spanning tree BPDU packet is seen
• Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) for detecting one way connections
• Graceful Protocol Restart – OSFP
• VRRP
• Redundant 1:1 power provided by the OmniSwitch 6855 backup power supplies
Quality of Service
• Priority queues: eight hardware-based queues per port
• Traffic prioritization: Flow-based QoS with internal and external (a.k.a.,
remarking) prioritization
• Bandwidth management: flow based bandwidth management, ingress
policing/egress shaping and port based egress shaping
• Queue management: Random Early Detect/Discard (RED), configurable
de-queuing algorithm; strict priority, weighted and deficit round robin.
