The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series (IE3500H) switches deliver high bandwidth, high power and better switching performance in a dustproof and waterproof form factor. The Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series is designed to support features that enable the industrial network infrastructure to seamlessly accommodate machine vision use cases, AI-driven analysis, virtualization, and robust security for Operational Technology (OT) networks.
Advanced Features for Operational Technology (OT) Networks
● TSN Frame-Preemption1: With IEEE802.1Qbu and IEEE802.3br based frame-preemption technology, the IE3500H significantly reduces jitter and delay in transmission of time-sensitive control traffic in OT networks.
● Enhanced Resiliency: The IE3500H supports protocols such as Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), and Device Level Ring (DLR)2, providing redundancy and fast failover times.
● Lossless Redundancy: For deployments requiring uninterrupted connectivity, the IE3505H includes High-Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR)2 and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP)2, ensuring seamless failover and network continuity.
Network Security and Observability
● Secure Boot: The IE3500H features Secure Boot designed to ensure that only trusted and authenticated software is executed during the boot process, with its hardware-anchored root of trust in Cisco Trust Anchor Module.
● Cyber visibility: With Cisco Cyber Vision included*, the IE3500H identifies connected assets, their profiles, vulnerabilities, and communication patterns to assess your OT security posture and help drive cybersecurity best practices.
● Secure remote access1: With Cyber Vision’s Secure Equipment Access included*, the IE3500H enables zero-trust remote access to connected assets to help you control risks from remote users.
● Segmentation: Cisco TrustSec technology enables policy-based segmentation that helps reduce attack surfaces and contains threats by automatically adapting access based on user and device identity.
● Network Assurance: IE3500 can host ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent that gains visibility into owned and third-party network to avoid network outages.
The IE3500H offers multiple management choices to suit various deployment needs:
1. On-Device Management: Use the WebUI or command line tool for standalone devices, providing an intuitive on-device GUI and CLI options.
2. On-Premises Management: Manage the IE3500H via Catalyst Center for on-premises deployments.
The IE3500H supports Layer 3 functionality and can extend the IT fabric into the OT network. With support for Cisco Software Defined Access Fabric Edge and BGP-EVPN, large networks are easy to scale and manage
Future-Ready Network Capabilities
The IE3500H is designed to meet the demands of expanding networks, offering:
● Two 10G (SFP+) uplink ports for high-speed connectivity.
● Up to 60W of PoE power per port, ensuring support for power-intensive devices.
The Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series is a secure, scalable, and reliable solution, ideal for industrial environments requiring high performance, advanced security, and seamless connectivity.
