What is an Alcatel OmniSwitch?
The Alcatel OmniSwitch is a series of network switches designed by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise to cater to various networking needs. These switches, ranging from edge to core models, deliver high-performance networking solutions, providing efficient data transmission and high-speed connectivity. As Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches, depending on the model, OmniSwitches operate at the data link or network layer of the OSI model, respectively. This allows them to handle not only the transmission of data between nearby devices but also the routing of data across different networks, ensuring seamless network operations. The OmniSwitch is known for its versatility, performance, and advanced feature set regarding network security or networking protocols support.
How to monitor an Alcatel OmniSwitch?
ServicePilot makes it very easy to monitor an Alcatel OmniSwitch device. Simply configure the SNMP interface of the Alcatel OmniSwitch device. Then use the ServicePilot web interface to add a resource from the ServicePilot network-alcatel-omniswitch package.
The different statistics gathered this way include:
- System: CPU, Memory and temperature
- Interfaces (optional): traffic, load, volumes and errors
The statistics are stored in order to provide advanced dashboards presenting CPU, Memory and Interface information over time which allow comprehensive diagnosis of problems.
