Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Switch, 8 GE Copper + 2 GE SFP, Network Essentials

IE-3400-8T2S-E is the Catalyst IE3400 advanced modular switch with 10 ports in the base unit: 8 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper and 2 x 100/1000 SFP. It ships with the Network Essentials license and has no PoE. IPv4 and IPv6 indirect routes need the -A SKU or Network Advantage on this -E model.

Hardware includes 4 GB of DRAM, 1.5 GB of user-accessible flash, an optional 4 GB or 16 GB SD card and an optional USB 2.0 port. Line-rate forwarding applies to every port and packet size, with 8 queues, 16K unicast MAC addresses, 256 VLANs, 128 spanning-tree instances and 3K access control entries. Jumbo frames reach 8996 bytes, limited to 2000 bytes with ERSPAN, DLR, PRP, HSR or SGT.

The platform grows to 26 ports with expansion modules, and an 8-port module brings the system to 18 ports. IEM-3400-8T= and IEM-3400-8S= are compatible, as are several IEM-3300 modules. PoE expansion modules only work with the PoE base switch, so the 8T2S-E cannot use them. Non-PoE IE3300 modules can attach, though that prevents SGT and SGACL support on the base.

Power is a redundant DC input of 9.6 to 60 VDC drawing up to 6.3 A, with measured consumption of 36 W. The unit has 2 alarm inputs, 1 alarm output, an RJ-45 RS-232 console and a USB mini Type B console, mounts on a DIN rail, measures 6 x 3.6 x 5.3 in (15.2 x 9.1 x 13.5 cm) and weighs 3.8 lb (1.7 kg).
