OS9700E-RCBA, Alcatel-Lucent OS9700E Switch, Dual CMMs/AC Redundant/Adv. IP Routing

The Alcatel-Lucent OS9700E-RCBA is an enterprise-grade core switch engineered to elevate enterprise network environments where advanced IP routing and uncompromising network performance are essential. Designed as a modular Layer 3 managed switch, it seamlessly integrates robust chassis management features, supporting high-availability deployments. The redundant bundle includes dual CMMs for AC power and high-level encryption, ensuring secure and resilient operations that are vital for mission-critical infrastructures. The OS9700E-RCBA delivers advanced IP routing capabilities, supporting complex protocol stacks such as BGP, OSPF, and VRRP, which underpin scalable and reliable network architectures. Dual CMM (Chassis Management Module) design is at the heart of its robust architecture, offering seamless failover and simplified management. Engineered for superior network performance, it features extensive expansion slots, a modular chassis with hot-pluggable, AC-redundant power supplies, and comprehensive N+1 redundancy options—ideal for enterprise data centers requiring 24/7 availability. Enhanced with rich security features, including SSH, RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication, along with powerful SSL encryption (DES, 3DES, RC2, RC4), the OS9700E-RCBA manages security risks and regulatory compliance. The managed framework supports remote management via SNMP, TFTP, and CLI, providing centralized control for distributed, large-scale deployments in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. Its access guardian software, support for MPLS, VLANs, and multicast features enable flexible segmentation and optimized traffic flow. With its modular design, front-to-back airflow, rack-mountable 11U chassis, and compatibility with demanding environmental and compliance standards, this switch enables organizations, distributors, and system integrators to uphold consistent uptime and peak performance across global enterprise networks.
