These switches are based on the same software architecture as OmniSwitch 7000 and 8000 series switches (i.e., OS7700, OS7800, and OS8800). These switches are designed to meet the most stringent network requirements for mission-critical networks. OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches are optimized for voice and data integration and provide non-blocking multi-Gigabit Ethernet capacity. Additional features include Carrier-class intelligence, best of breed QoS, Carrier-class resiliency, network management, and advanced policy-based VLANs and security. OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches also support wirespeed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, industry-based standards, and a full array of reliability, redundancy and resiliency capabilities. Stand-Alone and Stacked Configurations Stand-Alone A stand-alone OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch is ideal for small and medium-sized network edge applications, offering 24 10/100 ports (OS6624 and OS6602-24), 24 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports (OS6600-P24), 48 10/100 (OS6648 and OS6602-48) ports, and 24 100 SFP ports (OS6600-U24). These switches provide support for enterprise-based devices, such as computer workstations or IP telephones. A single OmniSwitch 6600 Family also supports two Gigabit Ethernet uplinks for high-bandwidth connections to a backbone or server. March 2005 OmniSwitch 6600 Family 1 Stacked Configurations In addition to working as individual, stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can also be linked together to form a single, high-density virtual chassis known as a stack. Stacking switches provides scalability by allowing users to quickly and easily expand 10/100 port density. Twenty-four 10/100 ports are added for each OS6624 brought into the stack; twenty-four 100 SFP ports are added for each OS6600U24; forty-eight 10/100 ports are added for each OS6 ...
