CISCO IE-2000-16PTC-G-L Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switches

IE-2000-16PTC-G-L exact hardware and software boundary

IE-2000-16PTC-G-L is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch with 16 10/100 copper ports including four PoE+ ports, plus two Gigabit uplinks. Cisco orders this exact PID with the LAN Lite software tier. The port media and license suffix are procurement facts, not interchangeable marketing labels.

Feature entitlement

IEEE 1588 timing is not listed for this exact order profile. L2NAT status: Not included in this order profile. This PTC model includes four PoE+ access ports; validate the actual powered-device load and cabinet power design. This exact suffix is not the conformal-coated X or NX order.

Model-specific purchase decision

The L profile is the PoE-capable entry line, not an E or NX feature equivalent. Validate powered-device demand and the LAN Lite feature boundary before procurement; do not infer IEEE 1588 or L2NAT from the shared 16PTC-G chassis wording.

Primary dossier: Combo-port control

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. A combo pair offers alternative media, not two simultaneous forwarding ports. Mark the active copper or SFP member, disable unintended paths and preserve the choice in the topology drawing and spare plan. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-16PTC-G-L, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Draw each combo pair as one logical interface with two possible physical media. The release checklist should identify the selected member, explain the standby or unused connector and verify behavior after a deliberate medium change only when the design permits it. This prevents asset systems from overstating usable port count and avoids accidental parallel paths.

Secondary control: Lifecycle action file

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. Cisco's published milestones govern this order even when inventory remains available. Name the risk owner, supported-use deadline, replacement project and dependencies that must move with the switch. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Fault-domain separation

Use synchronized switch, endpoint and upstream logs to separate power, cabling, optics, switching policy and application faults. Replace hardware only after the failing boundary has been identified. Preserve the result as a dated part of this model's acceptance file rather than reusing evidence from another IE 2000 variant.

Published lifecycle

Cisco lists 26 July 2024 as the last order date, 26 July 2025 as the end of software maintenance, 26 July 2027 as the end of vulnerability and security support, and 31 July 2029 as the last support date for the affected IE 2000 products. The migration reference for this line is IE-3200-8P2S-E; validate the complete replacement design rather than assuming equivalence.
