Introduction

The Alcatel Omnistack®8008 is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for

the network core. It provides 8 1000BASE-SX ports that can significantly improve the

performance of your network’s backbone, and deliver the throughput needed to support a

broad range of advanced network applications.

With 16 Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, this Alcatel switch provides the quickest

solution to meeting the growing demands on your network’s limited resources. Each

1000BASE-SX fiber optic port can support connections up to 550 meters (1800 feet),

providing high-bandwidth connectivity within or between workgroups, and increased

capacity for server farms, giving your users faster access to network-wide resources.

The Alcatel Omnistack®includes a built-in management agent that allows you to

configure or monitor the switch using the embedded management program or SNMP/

RMON applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the

console port. You can also make a network connection to manage the switch using

Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or any SNMP-based network management software.

By accessing the management agent you can configure the switch’s wide array of

advanced features, such as:

• Agent supports Telnet, SNMP/RMON and Web-based interface

• Basic RMON (including Statistics, History, Alarms and Events)

• Spanning Tree Algorithm for redundant paths between switches

• Full-duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x)

• Broadcast storm control (broadcast packets dropped at a configurable threshold)

• Port mirroring (for real-time debugging without affecting the target port)

• VLAN support for up to 256 groups, port-based or with 802.1Q VLAN tagging

• Multicast filtering with IGMP snooping

• Quality of Service supports two levels of priority with Weighted Fair Queueing

Omnistack®8008

Installing the Switch

Before installing the switch verify that you have all the items listed under “Package

Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local Alcatel

distributor. Also be sure you have all the necessary tools and cabling before installing the

switch. Note that this switch can be installed on any suitably large flat surface or in a

standard EIA 19-inch rack. After installing the switch, refer to the Users Guide to set up its

more advanced features, such as Spanning Tree Protocol or VLAN port groups.

Package Contents

This package includes:

Description of Hardware

The switch contains 8 1000BASE-SX fiber optic ports. An SNMP/RMON management

agent is built into the switch unit with a serial port provided on the rear panel for

out-of-band console configuration. The AC power socket and redundant power supply

connector are also located on the rear panel.

All the SC-type ports operate at 1000 Mbps full and half duplex and support

auto-negotiation of duplex mode and flow control. When using auto-negotiation, the

transmission mode, and flow control can be automatically set if this feature is also

supported by the attached device.

The switch also includes an LED display panel for key system and port indications that

simplify installation and network troubleshooting.

The following figure shows the components of this switch:

®8008 (Model No. OS-8008)

• Four rubber foot pads

• Rack mount bracket kit

• AC power cord

• Console cable

Installing the Switch

Mounting the Switch

This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack.

Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating

environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to

other devices that are to be connected. Verify the following requirements:

• Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The switch's

power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.

• The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm (4 in.) of space on

the sides for ventilation.

• Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a high

amount of electromagnetic interference.

• If you intend to mount the switch in a rack, make sure you have all the necessary

mounting screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools.

• Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.

Stacking Switches on a Flat Surface

The Omnistack®8008 can be stacked

anywhere there is enough flat space, such as

on a table or desktop.

1. Stick the self-adhesive rubber foot pads

(that come with this package) on each of

the 4 concave spaces located on the

bottom of the switch.

2. Place the first switch on a firm flat surface where you want to install the stack.

3. Repeat step 1 for each switch before stacking them. The rubber foot pads cushion

the switch against shock/vibrations and provide space between each switch for

ventilation.

Mounting Switches in a Rack

Please comply with the following instructions to ensure

that your switch is securely mounted in the rack.

1. Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

2. Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack

mounting kit.

3. Use a Philips screwdriver to attach the brackets to

the side of the switch.

4. Position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the

appropriate holes on the rack, and then use the rack-mount screws to mount the

switch in the rack.

Connecting the Switch System

The OmniStack®8008 provides 8 SC-type fiber optic ports. Each of these ports support

connection to 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet.

Connecting to a Gigabit Port

When connecting fiber cable to a 1000BASE-SX port on the switch, be sure you use an

SC-type connector. Follow the steps below.

Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are

compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye

safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port

when it is powered on.

1. Remove and keep the SC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber cable,

the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping

them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty

fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted

through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC port on the switch and the other end to the

SC port on the other device. Since SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be

attached in only one orientation. When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the

plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

All the SC-type ports operate at 1 Gbps with support for auto-negotiation of duplex mode

(full/half) and flow control. Also note the maximum length for 1000BASE-SX fiber optic

cable depends on the core size and the rating of the cable, as shown in the following

table.

Fiber Size Fiber Bandwidth Maximum Cable Length

62.5/125 micron 160 MHz/km 220 m (722 ft)

200 MHz/km 275 m (902 ft)

50/125 micron 400 MHz/km 500 m (1641 ft)

500 MHz/km 550 m (1805 ft)
