Cisco Catalyst IE-4000 series industrial Ethernet switch

The Cisco Catalyst IE-4000 series is a high-performance industrial Ethernet switch designed for harsh industrial environments. It offers a range of models with different port configurations and features to meet the diverse needs of industrial applications.

Here is an introduction to the Cisco Catalyst IE-4000 series and a list of its models:

Superior Performance: The IE-4000 series provides high-performance nonblocking switching capacity, with up to 20 gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports per switch, ensuring fast and efficient data transmission for industrial applications that require high bandwidth, such as video surveillance, industrial automation, and IoT deployments.

High Reliability: It is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, with a rugged die-cast chassis that is resistant to dust, water, vibration, shock, and electrical noise. It can operate in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, making it suitable for use in extreme conditions such as factories, mines, and outdoor installations.

Redundancy and Resilience: To ensure continuous operation in mission-critical applications, the switch offers various redundancy features. It supports redundant power supplies, allowing for seamless switching to an alternate power source in case of a primary power failure. Additionally, it supports media redundancy protocol (MRP), resilient Ethernet protocol (REP), and device level ring (DLR) for network redundancy, ensuring that the network remains operational even in the event of a link or device failure. 

Powerful Security Features: The switch runs the Cisco IOS XE operating system, which has built-in security and trust features, including secure boot, image signing, and the Cisco Trust Anchor Module. These features help to protect the switch from unauthorized access, malware, and other security threats. It also supports access control lists (ACLs), which allow administrators to define granular access policies based on IP addresses, ports, and protocols, helping to prevent unauthorized access to the network and protect sensitive data.

Easy Management and Configuration: The switch can be easily configured and monitored through a web-based user interface (WebUI), which provides a simple and intuitive way to manage the switch's settings and features. The WebUI eliminates the need for complex terminal emulation programs and reduces the cost of deployment and management. In addition to the WebUI, the switch also supports command-line interface (CLI) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for advanced management and configuration. This allows administrators to manage the switch remotely using scripts or other management tools.
