Product Overview
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6900 fixed CoreLAN and Data Center (DC) switches are compact,high-density 10, 25, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet(GigE) platforms. They offer high performance
aand extremely low latency Layer-2 and Layer-3switching for campus and DC Fabric networks.They are designed for the most demandingsoftware-defined operations in virtualized or physical networks.
OmniSwitch 6900s can be positioned as Top- of-Rack (ToR) or spine switches in DC environments, or as core and aggregation devices in campus networks. They support a wide range of protocols and programable interface (API) for building ALE’s autonomous Service Defined Network or overlay networks based on Software Defined Network architectures.
The OmniSwitch 6900 product family offers a very high port density, with up to 128 x 10 GigE, 80 x 25 GigE and up to 32 x 40/100 GigE ports in a 1RU form factor. The Virtual Chassis1 feature extends the modularity and reliability of connectivity to address any size of virtualized, highly secured modern and autonomous networks. MACsec is also supported on specific OS6900 models for mission critical and encrypted communication networks. The OmniSwitch 6900 product family leverages an energy-efficient model with leading low power consumption, making them the most efficient and versatile switches in their class.

Features
• Wire-rate non-blocking up to 6.4 Tb/s switching and routing capacity at 100 GigE, 40 GigE, 25 GigE, 10 GigE/1 GigE and 10BASE-T speeds.
• Resilient hardware system architecture.
• Internal, hot-swappable power supplies and fans.
• Front-to-back and back-to-front cooling options provide lowest power consumption per port in its class.
• Integral operating system advances functions: quality of service (QoS), access control lists (ACLs), Layer-2/ Layer-3 switching, Virtual LAN (VLAN) stacking and IPv6.
• High-availability hardware Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) Virtual Tunnel End Point (VTEP) gateway for network virtualization.
• Integrated overlay (VXLAN) and underlay internetworking automated with OpenStack neutron plug-in and Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) protocol for integration with SDN controllers such as VMware NSX and Nuage Networks.
• Hardware virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) support for VRF-lite and IP Virtual Private Network (IP VPN).
• Scalable network virtualization architecture with guaranteed SLA delivery over standard Ethernet fabric: auto-Fabric IP routing for routed backbone and access provisioning, SPB for bridging and routed services, Multiple
VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) and dynamic Virtual Network Profiles (VNP).
• Zero-touch provisioning and network automation with out-of-the- box plug-and-play Auto-Fabric for automatic protocol and topology discovery. Protocol auto-discovery and self-provisioning works with any Ethernet
device that supports standard IEEE protocols, such as 802.1aq (Shortest Path Bridging- MAC, SPBM), 802.1ak (MVRP), or 802.3ad/802.1AX (Link Aggregation Control Protocol, LACP). Auto-fabric operation extends to IP routing protocol provisioning and IP on-boarding.
• Virtualized management, control and programmability
• Unified virtual chassis1 with support for up to 6 switches.
• Flexible and programmable Layer 2, Layer 3, ACL, QoS network virtualization function abstracted into a single virtual routing and bridging instance
• Network management virtualization
• Comprehensive northbound RESTful API to the entire Alcatel- Lucent operating system (AOS) feature set.
• API offers access to all AOS CLI commands and all MIB structures
• AOS-embedded scripting capabilities supporting Python and Bash programming.
• VMware-certified Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), Virtual Network Profiles (VNP) integration, VM SLA monitoring and application fingerprinting for unmanned network operation and self-adjusting SLA for application delivery
• Interfaces with VMware vCenter® and Citrix™ XenServer® for discovery and inventory
• VMware vCenter integration
• Single pane-of-glass for end-to-end physical and virtual networks infrastructure operations VM to underlay network correlation and single pane visibility.
• Real time tracking between VM and its network location
• Dynamic VM performance for application performance analytics and visibility
• Dynamic application profiling with in-line application recognition based on signatures and auto-adjustment of the network security and QoS treatment.
