Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches provide rugged and secure switching infrastructure for harsh environments. They are suitable for industrial Ethernet applications, including manufacturing, utility substations, intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), rail transportation, and other similar deployments.
The switch fulfills the need for a high-density SFP, RJ-45, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) rack- or wall-mounted switch that can function as a software-defined access (SD-Access) fabric edge. It provides end-to-end architectural uniformity in the Cisco Catalyst Center for Internet of Things (IoT) connected communities and extended enterprises.
In industrial environments, the switch can be connected to any Ethernet-enabled industrial communication devices. These devices include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), drives, sensors, and input and output (I/O) devices.

Behaviour Changes
CSDL issue
From 17.15.1 release, application signature verification is performed by default for all applications during installation. Only Cisco-signed applications can be installed after verification. Unsigned applications will not be allowed to install.
Note: If unsigned applications were installed on your system before upgrading to version 17.15.1, they will continue to function after the upgrade. However, if you uninstall an unsigned application and try to reinstall it, the signature verification will fail.
To install unsigned applications, disable signature verification manually by using the app-hosting verification disable command, as shown in the example here:
Device# app-hosting verification disableUse the show app-hosting infra command to verify Application signature verification, as shown in the example here:
Device# show app-hosting infra
IOX version: 2.11.0.2
App signature verification: disabled
CAF Health: Stable
 Note |
Unsigned applications are third-party applications built by customers or users. |
Important Notes
Cisco Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Series Switch: Upgrade to Latest Boot Software
If you have a Cisco Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Series Switch, you must upgrade it to the latest version of ROM monitor software (ROMMON).
The upgrade is to accommodate the larger size of Cisco Catalyst IOS XE 17.13.1 caused by enhancements. If you do not upgrade, the switch may fail to boot.

Upgrading the Switch Software
This section covers the various aspects of upgrading or downgrading the device software.
Note |
See the Cisco IOS XE Migration Guide for IIoT Switches for the latest information about upgrading and downgrading switch software. |
SSH Algorithms for Common Criteria Certification Limitation
Starting with Cisco IOS XE Release 17.10, the following Key Exchange and MAC algorithms are removed from the default list:
-
Key Exchange algorithm:
-
diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
-
-
MAC algorithms:
-
hmac-sha1
-
hmac-sha2-256
-
hmac-sha2-512
-
Note |
You can use the ip ssh server algorithm kex command to configure the Key Exchange algorithm and the ip ssh server algorithm mac command to configure the MAC algorithms. |
Finding the Software Version
The package files for Cisco IOS XE software can be found on the system board's internal flash memory device (flash:) or an external USB, depending on the device configuration.
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.
Note |
Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration and does not change if you upgrade the software license. |
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the names and versions of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
