Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch series of switches are rugged and high bandwidth switches running on the widely-deployed and field-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS). These switches are ideal for industrial and mission-critical applications that require wider operating temperature ranges, more stringent EMC/EMI requirements, and an optimized feature set for high security, reliability, performance, and easy management.
