Application Example
The following application example shows one of the many ways OmniSwitch 8800 switches can be used
in an Enterprise network setting.
•
Core Switch.
In this example, an OS8800 is used as the core switch. Because the example network has
a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone, the Network Interface (NI) cards in the chassis will use 10
Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (10GNI) modules. The core switch connects to OmniSwitch 7700
and OmniSwitch 6648 switches in wiring closets as well as the company server farm and an OmniPCX,
offering effective voice-data convergence.
