ALCATELLUCENT DATA SHEET
DETAILED PRODUCT FEATURES
Simplified management
Configuration management interfaces
• Intuitive Alcatel-Lucent command-line
interface (CLI) with familiar interface
reducing training costs
• Easy-to-use, point-and-click web-based
element manager (WebView) with built-in
help for easy configuration
• Integration with Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista
for network management
• Full configuration and reporting using
SNMPv1/2/3 across all OmniSwitch
families to facilitate third-party Network
Management System (NMS) integration
• Remote Telnet management or Secure
Shell access using SSHv2
• File upload using USB, TFTP, FTP, SFTP, or
SCP for faster configuration
• Human-readable ASCII-based config files
for offline editing and bulk configuration
• Managed by Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service
Aware Manager
Monitoring and troubleshooting
• Local (on the flash) and remote server
logging: Syslog and command log
• Port-based mirroring for troubleshooting
and lawful interception, supports
• four sessions with multiple sources-to-one
destination
• Policy-based mirroring – allows selection
of the type of traffic to mirror by using
quality of service (QoS) policies
• Remote port mirroring that facilitates
passing mirrored traffic through the
network to a remotely connected device
• Port monitoring feature that allows
capture of Ethernet packets to a file,
or for on-screen display to assist in
troubleshooting
• sFlow v5 and RMON: For advanced
monitoring and reporting capabilities
for statistics, history, alarms, and events
• IP tools: Ping and trace route
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM):
Real-time diagnostics of fiber connections
for early detection of optical signal
deterioration
• Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR): For
locating breaks or other discontinuity
in copper cables
Network configuration
• Auto remote configuration download
feature
• Auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 ports
automatically configure port speed and
duplex setting
• Auto MDI/MDIX automatically configures
transmit and receive signals to support
straight through and crossover cabling
• BootP/Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) client allows auto-config
of switch IP information for simplified
deployment
• DHCP relay to forward client requests
to a DHCP server
• Alcatel-Lucent Mapping Adjacency
Protocol (AMAP) for building topology
maps
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP) with MED extensions for
automated device discovery
• GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
for 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and
dynamic VLAN creation
• Auto QoS for switch management traffic
as well as traffic from Alcatel-Lucent IP
phones
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) for network-
wide time synchronization
• Stackable to 2 units (future software
release)
Resiliency and high availability
• Rapid Ring Spanning Tree Protocol (RRSTP)
optimized for ring topology to provide
less than 100 ms convergence time
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree
Protocol: Encompasses IEEE 802.1D STP
and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol
• Per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST) and
Alcatel-Lucent 1x1 STP mode
• IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) and static LAG groups
across modules is supported
• Dual-home link (DHL) support for
subsecond link protection without STP
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
(VRRP) to provide highly available routed
environments
• Broadcast and multicast storm control
to avoid degradation in overall system
performance
• Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD):
Detects and disables unidirectional links
on fiber optic interfaces
• Layer 2 port loopback detection for
preventing customer loops on Ethernet
access ports
• Redundant and hot-swappable power
supplies, transceivers modules offering
uninterruptable service
• Dual image and dual configuration files
storage provides backup
Advanced security
Access control
• AOS Access Guardian framework for
comprehensive user policy- based
Network Access Control (NAC)
• Autosensing 802.1X multi-client,
multi-VLAN
• MAC-based authentication for
non-802.1x hosts
• Web-based authentication (Captive
Portal) – a customizable web portal
residing on the switch that can be used
for authenticating supplicants as well as
non-supplicants
• Group mobility rules and “guest” VLAN
support
• The host integrity check (HIC) agent on
each switch makes it a HIC enforcer and
facilitates endpoint device control for
company policy compliance.
• User Network Profile (UNP) – simplify
NAC management and control by
dynamically providing pre-defined policy
configuration to authenticated clients —
VLAN, ACL, BW, HIC
• SSH for secure CLI session with public
key infrastructure (PKI) support
• Centralized RADIUS and Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
authentication
• Private VLAN feature for user traffic
segregation
Containment, monitoring and quarantine
• Alcatel-Lucent Quarantine Manager and
quarantine VLAN (not supported)
• Learned Port Security (LPS) or MAC
address lockdown – secures the network
access on user or trunk ports based on
MAC address
• DHCP Snooping, DHCP IP Spoof protection
• TACACS+ client allows for authentication
authorization and accounting with a
remote TACACS+ server
• Dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
protection and ARP poisoning detection
• Access control lists to filter out unwanted
traffic including denial of service attacks;
flow-based filtering in hardware (L1-L4)
• Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) blocking
– automatically shuts down user ports
if a STP BPDU packet is seen to prevent
topology loops
• STP Root Guard – prevents edge devices
from becoming Spanning Tree Protocol
root node
