Managed Switch Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6360

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6360 is a managed L2/L3 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for SMBs and enterprise edge networks. It provides 24 RJ-45 ports in a 1U rack-mountable form factor, a switching capacity of 92 Gbit/s and a MAC address table of 16,000 entries. The switch runs the field-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), offering CLI and in-box web GUI for device and network management and delivering enhanced security, reliability and operational efficiency.

Advantages

The OmniSwitch 6360 combines L2 and L3 capabilities with industry-standard protocols (IEEE 802.1D, 802.1Q, 802.1x) to support VLANs, spanning tree and port authentication. Its 1U rack design and 24 RJ-45 ports deliver compact, high-density connectivity while 92 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 16,000-entry MAC table ensure stable performance for growing networks. Built-in AOS software enables both CLI and GUI management for flexible administration.

How to use

Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included brackets. Connect uplink and access devices to the RJ-45 ports, power the unit and configure network parameters via the command-line interface (CLI) or the in-box web GUI. Create VLANs, configure L3 interfaces if required, and apply security policies such as 802.1x authentication and access control lists according to your network design. Monitor status and logs through AOS management tools.

Recommendations

For stable operation, use quality CAT5e/CAT6 cables for Gigabit links, keep firmware up to date with Alcatel-Lucent AOS releases, and plan MAC and VLAN capacity based on expected device counts and traffic growth.
