## Long description

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6560 is a managed L2+/L3 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Designed as a 1U rack-mountable campus access switch, it provides multi-gigabit connectivity for high-speed IEEE 802.11ac devices, 10GbE uplinks and 20GbE stacking in a compact, energy-efficient chassis. The switch runs the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) to deliver secure, highly available and easily managed network services suitable for enterprise access layers.
Advantages
The OmniSwitch 6560 family offers flexibility and scalability through multi-gigabit ports, 10GbE uplink capability and stacking support. It combines a switching capacity of 168 Gbit/s with a 16,000-entry MAC address table for robust traffic handling. Compliance with a wide range of IEEE standards ensures interoperability, while PoE support simplifies deployment of powered devices. Its 1U rack design and optimized power consumption make it suitable for dense access deployments.
Suitable for
 Enterprise campus access switches for wired and wireless aggregation

How to use
Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included 1U brackets. Connect access devices to the 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and route uplinks to aggregation or core switches using the 10GbE ports. If needed, configure stacking links to form a single logical switch for simplified management. Use the AOS command-line interface or web management tools to configure VLANs, QoS, PoE settings and L2/L3 features according to your network design.
Usage recommendations
Place the switch in a temperature-controlled rack space with adequate airflow and ensure firmware is kept up to date. Size PoE budgets according to powered device requirements and use 10GbE uplinks or stacking to avoid uplink congestion when aggregating multiple access switches.
