OmniSwitch 6800 Series Stacked Configurations

Stacked Configurations
In addition to working as individual, stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches (except for
the OS6800-U24) can also be linked together to form a single, high-density virtual chassis known as a
stack.
OmniSwitch 6800 Series Stacked Configuration (Stack of Four Shown)
Stacking switches provides scalability by allowing users to quickly and easily expand 10/100/1000 port
density. Twenty-four 10/100/1000 ports are added for each OS6800-24 brought into the stack and
forty-eight 10/100/1000 ports are added for each OS6800-48.
Up to eight switches can be stacked. OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches can be mixed and matched in any
combination within the stack. This provides a virtual chassis with a 10/100/1000 capacity of up to 384
ports.
Note. Other stackable Alcatel-Lucent products, such as the OmniSwitch 6600 Series switch, cannot be
added to an OmniSwitch 6800 Series virtual chassis. For comprehensive information on managing stacked
configurations, refer to Chapter 3, “Managing OmniSwitch 6800 Series Stacks.”
