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

• 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
• client allows for authentication
authorization and accounting with a remote
server
• Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
for HTTPS access and SNMPv3 for encrypted
remote management communication

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
• SSL for secure HTTP session
