Solid in the field. I've deployed into multiple industrial environments without 
issues.

Not as versatile as the ie3000 with the expansion modules but there seems to be 
a lot more integration from Cisco regarding these platforms.

They also support resilient Ethernet and precision timing, making them handy 
for utility or manufacturing.

No mc-lag.

Oh ya. It only support old SW cluster. So MC-LAG is no question. Thanks for the 
heads up.

The Cisco IE series is solid gear.



I’ve deployed it in various flavours, in outdoor cabinets and boxes throughout 
the North-West of WA, and observed failure rates are negligible – not a bad 
effort given the ambient can be up to 48 degrees, with temperatures in some 
cabinets being up to another 20-25 degrees on top of that.



Enclosure selection is key to equipment survivability and I’ll throw a vote in 
here for those made by B&R (Pilbara SP, Lambert LB, Field FC), especially when 
kitted out with sunshades.



Note that IE switches won’t do MC-LAG/VPC (happy to be corrected though), but 
should tick the rest of your boxes.

Subject: [AusNOG] Cisco IE4000 Industrial Ethernet L3 Switch



Planing to to use Cisco IE4000 series industrial ethernet switches for a large 
client in QLD. Wondering any one on the list would like to share first hand 
experience to use these switches in a rugged environment. Requirements are 
simple and stable running state of L3 features like OSPFv3, multi-chassis 
etherchannel and IOS based ACL.



Aware that these features very simple on standard  DC grade IOS devices. What 
about on the ruggedized ethernet switches? Will be DIN mounted on remote site 
data cabinet, DC power and varying ambient temperature of -10 to 45 degree C.
