Stackable Gigabit Ethernet LAN Switch Family
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 2360 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch family offers value and is optimised for Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) and branch/ campus workgroup solutions. These are simple, flexible, and secure switches, ideal for out-of-the-wiring-closet converged solutions for workstation, access-point, IP telephony deployments.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 2360 operates on the field-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) software supporting simple device management through command-line interface (CLI), inbox web browser graphical user interface (GUI) WebView 2.0, Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 Network Management System (NMS), and the cloud-enabled Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Cirrus Network Management as a Service.
Powerful L2+ features such as static routing (IPv4/IPv6), flexible/advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and Access Control List (ACL) options, Denial-of-Service (DoS) features, and wire-rate performance, makes this family of switches optimal for delivering network security, network reliability, and operational efficiency for any SMB network.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 2360 family is embedded with the latest technology innovations, and offers maximum investment protection.
