The Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series switches deliver high bandwidth, higher power and feature rich switching performance in a rugged and modular form factor. The Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series are designed with features that enable the industrial network infrastructure to seamlessly accommodate machine vision use cases, AI-driven analysis, virtualization, large scale networks, robust security, and edge-to-cloud connectivity.
Advanced Features for Operational Technology (OT) Networks
● TSN Frame-Preemption1: The IE3500 is the first Cisco IE switch to incorporate IEEE802.1Qbu and IEEE802.3br based frame-preemption technology, significantly reducing jitter and delay for time-sensitive control packets.
● Enhanced Resiliency: The IE3500 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 IE3505 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 IE3500 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 IE3500 identifies connected assets, their profiles, vulnerabilities, and communication patterns to assess your OT security posture and help drive cybersecurity best practices.
● Secure remote access: With Cisco Secure Equipment Access included*, the IE3500 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 Agent1 that gains visibility into owned and third-party network to avoid network outages.
Flexible Management Options
The IE3500 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 IE3500 via Catalyst Center for on-premises deployments.
3. Cloud Management: Leverage Meraki dashboard1 for cloud-based network management, enabling simplified and centralized control.
Fabric Capabilities
The IE3500 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-EVPN1, large networks are easy to scale and manage
Future-Ready Hardware Capabilities
The IE3500 is designed to meet the demands of expanding networks, offering:
● Three 10G uplink ports for high-speed connectivity
● Up to 90W of PoE power per port, ensuring support for power-intensive devices.
● Versatile expansion module options that expand total switch capacity 4, 8 or 16 ports.
