The Cisco IE 2000 Series are designed for low cost, low ports, and small sizes. They offer:

• Four, eight, or 16 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports (Small Form-Factor Pluggable [SFP] downlinks on selected models); fixed configurations with a compact form factor
• Two gigabit combo ports: SFP (100 Mbps and 1 Gbps) or RJ45 uplink
• Dual-input DC power supply, alarm relays, DIN rail mount
• Industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution
• Conformal coating SKUs available (IE-2000-16TC-G-X and IE-2000-16PTC-G- NX)
• Swappable SD flash card and mini-USB connector
• Industrial environmental compliance and certifications
• Industrial partner applications: Ethernet/IP and PROFINET

Primary benefits and features

Easy deployment: Zero-touch discovery using Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), auto sync to SD card, express setup, and fast boot-up time (60 seconds) to help in migrating to an Ethernet environment without resistance.
Security: 802.1x, port security, and DHCP allow dynamic port-based authentication; Secure Shell (SSHv2); SNMPv3 provides encrypted administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions; TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication facilitate centralized control and restrict unauthorized users.
Resiliency: Cisco REP ring protocol and PROFINET– Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)
Manageability: Cisco DNA Center software, Auto SmartPort, Web Device Manager, Telnet, HTTPS access, SNMP, CNA, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
Network Address Translation (NAT): Line-rate, hardware-enabled 1:1 static address translation designed to enable duplicate IP address usage in the Layer 2 machine node networks.
Layer 3 routing: IPv4 and IPv6.
Industrial PoE: PoE (IEEE 802.af) and PoE+ (802.3at) supported on selected models.
Industrial automation protocols: EtherNet/IP (CIP) and PROFINET MRP (IEC 62439-2) allow integration with existing management platforms from Rockwell, Siemens, and others.
