and lawful interception, supports four
sessions with multiple sources-to-one
destination configuration

Ethernet packets to a file, or for on-screen
display to assist in troubleshooting

control and manage the network usage
• Local (on the flash) and remote logging (Syslog)
• GVRP for 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and
dynamic VLAN creation
HIGH AVAILABILITY
• Ring Rapid Spanning Tree optimized for ring
topology to provide less than 100ms
convergence time
• 802.1w rapid recovery spanning tree allows
subsecond 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
•Redundant 1:1 power provided by the
OS6850-BPS
• BPDU blocking – automatically shuts down
switch ports being used as user ports if a
spanning tree BPDU packet is seen. Prevents
unauthorized spanning-tree enabled attached
bridges from operating.
• Priority queues: eight hardware-based queues
per port
CONVERGENCE/ TRIPLE PLAY
• 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.
• Power-over-Ethernet: IEEE 802.3af – maximum
total power of 380W for PoE
ADVANCED SECURITY
• 802.1X multi-client, multi-VLAN support for
perclient authentication and VLAN assignment

•IEEE 802.1X with MAC based authentication,
group mobility or “guest” VLAN support
• MAC-based authentication for non-802.1X host
•Authenticated VLAN that challenges users
with username and password and supports
dynamic VLAN access based on user
• PKI authentication for SSH access
•Support for host integrity check and
remediation VLAN
• Support for Alcatel-Lucent Quarantine
Manager and quarantine VLAN
• Learned Port Security (LPS) or MAC address
lockdown allows only known devices to have
network access preventing unauthorized
network device access
•RADIUS and LDAP admin authentication
prevents unauthorized switch management
•TACACS+ client allows for authentication
authorization and accounting with a remote
TACACS+ server
•Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
for HTTPS access and SNMPv3 for encrypted
remote management communication
•Access control lists to filter out unwanted
traffic including denial of service attacks;
Flow based filtering in hardware (L1-L4)
• Support of Microsoft Network Access
Protection (NAP)*
• Switch protocol security
• MD5 for RIPv2, OSPFv2 and SNMPv3
•SSH for secure CLI session with PKI support
