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

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

IE-2000-16TC-G-X 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 Base software tier. The port media and license suffix are procurement facts, not interchangeable marketing labels.

Feature entitlement

IEEE 1588 timing is listed for this exact order profile. L2NAT status: Available through the documented software-license upgrade path. This order does not select the four-port PoE+ PTC hardware profile. Cisco identifies this exact suffix as a conformal-coated order.

Model-specific purchase decision

The X suffix identifies the conformal-coated 16TC-G order. Preserve the environmental reason for choosing coating, while treating L2NAT as a separately verified upgrade and avoiding an unsupported one-to-one replacement claim where Cisco's bulletin provides only migration options.

Primary dossier: VLAN and trunk boundary

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. List endpoint VLANs, tagged uplinks, native-VLAN decisions and prohibited networks. Compare the running configuration with the approved machine-zone diagram before connecting the cell to upstream production. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-16TC-G-X, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Turn the machine-zone diagram into a configuration reconciliation sheet. It should map every access port and uplink to its VLAN behavior, document any native VLAN, identify management separation and list traffic that must not cross the cell boundary. Compare the saved running configuration with that sheet after commissioning and after any replacement.

Secondary control: Spare strategy

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. Map each spare to the exact port media, license tier, cabinet power and configuration it protects. Periodically test restore and link establishment; a family-compatible chassis can still fail the required operational role. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Cabinet and DIN-rail fit

Measure rail space, service clearance, connector access and cable bend radius in the target enclosure. Photograph the final DIN-rail position and grounding path so a later replacement can reproduce the mechanical arrangement. 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 Cisco directs buyers to review the IE 2000 migration options rather than naming one exact replacement; validate the complete replacement design rather than assuming equivalence.
