OmniSwitch 6600 Family
Features
The OmniSwitch 6600 Family (OS6624, OS6600-U24,
OS6648, OS6600-P24, OS6602-24, and OS6602-48) are next
generation enterprise edge/workgroup switches. These
switches are based on the same software architecture as
OmniSwitch 7000 and 8000 series switches (i.e., OS7700,
OS7800, and OS8800). These switches are designed to meet
the most stringent network requirements for mission-critical
networks.
OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches are optimized for voice
and data integration and provide non-blocking multi-Gigabit
Ethernet capacity. Additional features include Carrier-class
intelligence, best of breed QoS, Carrier-class resiliency,
network management, and advanced policy-based VLANs and
security. OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches also support wire-
speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, industry-based stan-
dards, and a full array of reliability, redundancy and resiliency
capabilities.
Stand-Alone and Stacked
Configurations
Stand-Alone
A stand-alone OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch is ideal for
small and medium-sized network edge applications, offering
24 10/100 ports (OS6624 and OS6602-24), 24 Power over
Ethernet (PoE) ports (OS6600-P24), 48 10/100 (OS6648 and
OS6602-48) ports, and 24 100 SFP ports (OS6600-U24).
These switches provide support for enterprise-based devices,
such as computer workstations or IP telephones.
A single OmniSwitch 6600 Family also supports two Gigabit
Ethernet uplinks for high-bandwidth connections to a back-
bone or server.
