Key Features

• Multi-Technology Fabric: Supports SPBM, VxLAN-EVPN, and MPLS technologies within a unified fabric architecture. This flexibility allows users to easily select the most suitable fabric.

• Robust Data Protection: Integrates MACsec encryption at Layer 2 to protect user data integrity without adding network complexity.

• Secure Boot System: Ensures that only trusted, manufacturer-approved software runs on devices. Consequently, this protects against malware and unauthorized code exploits.

• AI-Enabled Flow Telemetry: Provides advanced flow telemetry and network traffic visibility into network traffic for proactive optimization.

• Simplified Cloud Management: Fully ready for OmniVista® Cirrus to deliver secure, cloud-based network configuration and automated analytics.

Technical Specifications

Hardware & Performance Criteria

• Physical Interfaces: Includes USB Type-A, RJ45 console, and dedicated management interfaces.

• Cooling System: Equipped with fixed redundant fans. Non-PoE models feature a 2 + 1 setup, while PoE and V12 models utilize a 3 + 1 layout.

• Environmental Tolerances: Reliably operates in temperatures from 0°C to 45°C and up to 13,000 feet of altitude.

• Smart LED Indicators

  • RJ45 Port LEDs: Two indicators per port. When the mode button is set to Speed, the LED displays distinct colors for different connection rates (Amber for 10G, Magenta for 5G, Blue for 2.5G, and Green for 100M/1G).

  • System Diagnostics: Features specific OK1 operational indicators, VC role lights (where total active LEDs determine the Virtual Chassis ID), and dedicated power supply fault indicators.

  Hot-Swappable Power Supplies All OmniSwitch 6870 models support a 1+1 internal, removable, and hot-swappable redundant power architecture. The system supports balanced and unbalanced load sharing for PoE budgets using the following modular power supplies:

  • OS6870-BP: Modular AC system power supply for non-PoE variants (250W output).

  • OS6870-BP-D: Modular DC system power supply option (-42 to -60 V DC input).

  • OS6870-BPPH: Modular 600W AC PoE power supply.

  • OS6870-BPPX: Modular 1200W AC PoE power supply (Enables a maximum deliverable PoE budget of up to 1,976W on Advanced PoE models and up to 3,309W on Premium PoE models under optimal 230V AC deployment).

• Physical Dimensions & Weight: Physical dimensions vary by model and configuration. Standard models measure approximately 4.4 cm × 44 cm × 35 cm, while most PoE variants measure approximately 4.4 cm × 44 cm × 44.2 cm. Base unit weight ranges from 5.27 kg to 7.44 kg, depending on the selected model.
