Coming from a Cisco background, it took some time for me to get used to Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches because of the different commands. But I do appreciate it because it is quite similar to Linux. Some commands are interchangeable, which is a plus point because previously, our engineering roles were to look at server administration as a server administrator. Since I had some experience with Linux, I could carry over some of those experiences when dealing with Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches. I serve current users, primarily large corporations, as a network engineer. However, I cannot speak for how these corporations would rate Alcatel in their databases since Alcatel only provides support. From my perspective, I find that Alcatel switches may not be as intuitive as Cisco switches in terms of command execution. The commands for Alcatel products can be less obvious compared to Cisco. So, I rate the overall solution a seven or eight out of ten.
We are business partners. We are only selling Alcatel. I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. I would rate Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches a ten out of ten.
Overall, this is a good product and there are many benefits to using Alcatel-Lucent. It is definitely one that I recommend. If the support were better for us then it would be perfect. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

What is a LAN switch? LAN switches are devices that connect different components of a network. They take data that is moving through the network architecture and make sure that it arrives at the device that is designated as its ultimate endpoint. LAN switches are a very specific class of network switches. They connect network devices across a limited area. This network could be the size of a segment of a single building or a small campus that spreads out over several miles. LAN switches are...
The solution is good and people should know about it.
