Specifications

• Model: Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-L
• Series: Cisco IE 2000 Industrial Ethernet Series
• Type: Industrial Ethernet Switch
• Form Factor: DIN rail or wall mountable for flexible installation in industrial environments.
• Operating Environment: Designed for extended temperature ranges and harsh conditions typical of industrial environments.
• 2. Interfaces and Ports
• 8 x 10/100 Fast Ethernet (FE) RJ-45 ports:
• Each port supports 10/100 Mbps speeds for connecting industrial devices such as sensors, controllers, and IP cameras.
• 2 x Gigabit Ethernet combo ports:
• 2 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper ports or 2 x 100/1000 SFP fiber ports (combo ports mean that you can use either the RJ-45 copper or SFP fiber interface, but not both simultaneously).
• These ports provide flexible uplink options for high-speed connectivity or fiber connectivity for longer distances.
• 3. Performance
• Switching Capacity: 6.4 Gbps (Gigabits per second).
• Forwarding Rate: 2.7 Mpps (million packets per second).
• Packet Buffer: 1 MB buffer size.
• MAC Address Table: Supports up to 8000 MAC addresses.
• 4. Layer 2 Switching Features
• VLAN Support: Up to 255 VLANs supported per switch for segmenting network traffic.
• Spanning Tree Protocols: STP, RSTP, and MSTP supported for loop prevention and network redundancy.
• Link Aggregation: Supports IEEE 802.3ad (LACP) for link aggregation, allowing the combination of multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth.
• Jumbo Frames: Supports jumbo frames for improved performance on large data transfers, with a maximum frame size of up to 1998 bytes.
• 5. Security Features
• Access Control Lists (ACLs): Standard and extended ACLs for Layer 2 traffic filtering and security policies.
• Port Security: Limits the number of MAC addresses per port to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting.
• IEEE 802.1x: Port-based access control for network authentication.
• DHCP Snooping: Prevents rogue DHCP servers from assigning incorrect IP addresses.
• Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI): Protects against ARP spoofing attacks.
• IP Source Guard: Prevents IP address spoofing by filtering IP traffic based on the DHCP bindings database.
• 6. Quality of Service (QoS)
• Traffic Prioritization: Supports IEEE 802.1p class of service (CoS) with four queues per port for traffic prioritization.
• QoS Classification: Supports traffic classification based on MAC, IP, and TCP/UDP headers.
• Rate Limiting: Allows for bandwidth rate limiting for each port to optimize network traffic.
• 7. Management and Monitoring
• Management Interface: Provides a web-based management interface for easy configuration and monitoring.
• Command Line Interface (CLI): Supports CLI for advanced configurations and troubleshooting.
• SNMP: Supports SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 for network monitoring and integration with network management tools.
• Cisco Prime: Integrated with Cisco Prime for enhanced network monitoring and management capabilities.
• Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Simplifies switch deployment by automating the initial setup of the device.
• RMON (Remote Monitoring): Provides enhanced monitoring and diagnostics for network traffic analysis.
• 8. Redundancy and High Availability
• Redundant Power Supply Support: Dual power input options for redundant power configurations, improving reliability in case of a power supply failure.
• Power Input:
• DC Power Input Range: 24-48V DC, dual input terminals for redundant power.
• Resiliency: Supports protocols like EtherChannel and Flex Links for path redundancy, improving network reliability in industrial environments.
• 9. Environmental and Rugged Features
