Ethernet switches are hubs in an Ethernet wired to the computers and the network devices. Unmanaged switches possess no configuration, but managed switches can create subgroups, manage speed, or monitor and report activity.

Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) enables people to make powerful connections-whether in business, education, philanthropy, or creativity. Cisco hardware, software, and service offerings are used to create the Internet solutions that make networks possible-providing easy access to information anywhere, at any time.Cisco was founded in 1984 by a small group of computer scientists from Stanford University. Since the company's inception, Cisco engineers have been leaders in the development of Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking technologies. Today, with more than 65,225 employees worldwide, this tradition of innovation continues with industry-leading products and solutions in the company's core development areas of routing and switching, as well as in advanced technologies.

Features common across Ethernet switches.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Allows users to power devices directly from the Ethernet switch.

Management Interface

The Interface allows for configuration and monitoring of the devices on your network.

Hardware Security

Allows users to implement security capabilities such as access control lists, virtual LANs for segmenting traffic or DDoS protection.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Enables the prioritization of traffic to ensure network performance.

Switch Scalability

Ability to add new switches to the network (possibly through stacking) to enable more bandwidth.

Switch Redundancy

The switch follows a redundancy protocol, such as the parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) or high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) to ensure network performance in the event of a device or power failure.

Link Aggregation (LACP)

Allows users to combine Ethernet links, resulting in more bandwidth, better load balancing, and redundancy.

Managed Industrial switch for TVM's at train stations that reduces downtime over not managed switches. This in combination with the IR1101 with 4G/5G module solves a lot of problems. The scope is about 50 to 100 switches. Delivered as a managed service with our customer and also aiming for dual power where available. The small and affordable switches were a perfect fit for the case.

Fits in small spaces.
Can be powered directly by DC power from the TVM

Higher uptime due to manageable switches. We are notified when there are issues
Resulting in higher customer satisfaction

Conveyance, process device aggregation, and MCC device connectivity.

Copper Ethernet device aggregation
Footprint is small
Upgrade firmware is easier than IE-2000

There is not a IE-3100 SFP only replacement model that the IE-2000 model
The 4 SFP port models of the IE-2000 were not carried forward to the IE-3100
The WebUI when settings are modified for columns displayed, these settings cannot be saved.

Troubleshooting is greatly improved except for not keeping the column format not being preserved.
The WebUI page has a security certificate warning which causes a security violation false positive alert.

Automation Device Aggregation.
High Speed Interface support for HMIs and local servers.
Ability to replace un-managed switches
The Monitoring/Interface Performance enhancements are greatly improved and helps drive the value of the IE-3100.

Support of multiple DLR Rings helps open a new use case for the IE-3100 high end switch

Once the IAD (Industrial Asset Discovery) feature works it way into the IE-3100 platform, this will allow some more applications for Industrial Asset Discovery and verification.

If there was a configuration template that could be customized so the configuration could be "graded" quickly so the configuration can be verified and a test document can be produced that shows the current switch configuration/performance.

Yes - we have customized the interface extensively

If we had the virtual configuration tool, that would be wonderful.

Express Setup helps initially define ports to management ports.
Port Bandwidth utilization tool is very nice improvement over IE-2000.
Multiple Port Smartport configuration for non-VLAN 1 is a big improvement.
CLI WEBUI Tool is nice.

When colums are customized on different WebUI views, these changes are not saved.
It would be nice if there was an MS Excel export on some of the screens, ie, Port Utilization, Port configuration.
The Free Space number is not updated on the "Delete unused files" on the Administration Screen does not update when the files are deleted.
Speed and Duplex are no-longer showed on the WebUI. This is a common problem in the industrial automation environment.

New Features
Really looking forward to the IAD feature being pulled into the IE-3100.
Port Bandwidth utilization tool is great.

We utilize these types of switches for our many substations out in the field. These types of switches are really rugged and can withstand temperatures above 100 degrees and under negative 0. They also can withstand a lot of sand and many other elements that we are usually facing on a day to day basis.

They can stand high temperatures
Solid product
Support is quick and easy

Price is a little high for some customers
Power supplies are different
Power supply would make it easier if it was included

They last years
End of life is really short lived
Really reliable
