15Alcatel-Lucent | OmniSwitch 9000
The OmniSwitch 9000 family provides hardware-based classification for
access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS). More importantly
it provides a way to transition from an existing IPv4 network with
support of tunneling (configured 6-in-4). The OmniSwitch 9000s are able
to work with the existing AOS switches, and support the full suite of
unicast routing protocols, multicast registration and routing protocols,
QoS/ACLs and tunneling.
IPV6 SUPPORT
The OmniSwitch 9000 family provides full IPv6 support, and wire-rate
performance on classifying, forwarding and tunneling to address
various corporate and government requirements for IPv6.
Unlike most switches that support IPv6, the performance of the OS9000s is
unaffected by enabling IPv6 processing whether deploying IPv4, IPv6, or
IPv4/IPv6. These switches address the U.S. Federal government Department of
Defense (DoD) requirement that IPv6 be supported for migration by 2008
and addresses other countries’ requirements including:
FIRST GREEN SWITCH IN THE MARKET – ROHS COMPLIANCY
Alcatel-Lucent is the first switch manufacturer to be in compliance with directives from
around the world that require electronic equipment to be free of hazardous substances.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 family meets those requirements and was the first to
meet the European Community’s directive called Restriction on Hazardous
Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS). The whole world benefits from
these “green” switches by lessening the amount of hazardous substances that find
their way into the environment.
The OmniSwitch 9000s are
certified as “IPv6 Ready”
■ Ability to connect to the IPv6
backbone
■ Use of IPv6 across public
organizations
■ Ability to interconnect the IPv6
“island” through an existing IPv4
network through hardware-based
tunneling
■ Ability to control IPv6 flows with
extensive QoS/ACL policies
