Introduction

Cisco IOS XE release 16.10 provides enhanced support for Cisco Internet of Things (IoT) Switches.

For more information, see the Cisco IE 3200, 3300, and ESS 3300 Series Switches, Cisco IOS XE Gibralter 16.10.1 Software Configuration Guide .

New and Changed Information

Cisco Catalyst IE 3200 and 3300 Rugged Series Switches

The Cisco Catalyst IE 3x00 Series Switch is our next generation modular din rail Switching platform.

New Software Features in IOS XE Release 16.10

All features from Release 16.9.1 are now supported on the Cisco IE 3x00 series switch

Release 16.10 introduces the following new software features for IoT Devices:

  • Inter Vlan Routing

  • Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)

  • Precision Time Protocol (PTP)

  • Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP)

  • Swap Drive

  • Netflow

    • Note: Due to HW limitation on IE3x00 platforms,

      • QoS Metering and NetFlow cannot co-exist on the same interface.

      • Number of flows supported on the IE3x00 is 1700

      • On counters, initial packets will not be accounted.

  • RSPAN

Important Note

Multicast traffic not registered with the switch will be distributed to every port.
