Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series switches with up to 20 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces deliver high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact form factor and are designed for a wide range of industrial applications for which hardened products are required. This platform is built to withstand harsh environments in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. The IE3100 is ideal for space constrained deployments often found in distribution centers, warehouses, and outdoor spaces.

These switches run Cisco IOS® XE, an operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring Secure Boot, image signing, and the Cisco® Trust Anchor module. Cisco IOS XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series can be managed with a powerful management tool, Cisco DNA Center, and can easily be set up with a completely redesigned user-friendly modern GUI tool called WebUI.
