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-Preemption: 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), providing redundancy and fast failover times.
● Lossless Redundancy: For deployments requiring uninterrupted connectivity, the IE3505H includes High-Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), 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: Cisco Cyber Vision built-into 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 access: Cisco Secure Equipment Access built-into the IE3500H enables zero-trust remote access to connected assets.
● 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 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.
2. On-Premises Management: Manage the IE3500H via Catalyst Center for on-premise deployments.
Fabric Capabilities
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.
