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

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

IE-2000-16TC-G-L is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch with 16 10/100 copper ports, two Gigabit combo uplinks and two 100-Mbps SFP ports. 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 order does not select the four-port PoE+ PTC hardware profile. This exact suffix is not the conformal-coated X or NX order.

Model-specific purchase decision

This high-port-count LAN Lite line offers mixed GE-combo and FE-SFP uplinks without the E/N timing and translation profile. Compare required protocols against the LAN Lite boundary before assuming that port similarity makes it interchangeable with G-E or G-N.

Primary dossier: Alarm-contact handover

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. Where cabinet alarm I/O is used, identify the wired condition, receiving system, severity and test result. An untested alarm wire should not be counted as operational monitoring for the switch. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-16TC-G-L, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Define the cabinet condition that drives the alarm contact, the normal electrical state, the receiving input and the expected operator response. Trigger the condition, confirm the remote event and verify restoration. Keep wiring references and test timestamps with the switch asset so future technicians can distinguish alarm-circuit faults from device faults.

Secondary control: Maintenance-window controls

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. Define installer, outage boundary, acceptance checkpoints and rollback owner. Close the change only after endpoints, upstream redundancy, monitoring and the saved configuration have all been reconciled. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Copper-link evidence

For every copper endpoint, retain the device name, switch port, cable identifier, negotiated rate and error counters. Investigate duplex or rate fallback before the machine cell is handed to operations. 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-3100-18T2C-E; validate the complete replacement design rather than assuming equivalence.
