CISCO IE-2000-4T-G-L Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switches

IE-2000-4T-G-L exact hardware and software boundary

IE-2000-4T-G-L is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch with four 10/100 copper ports and two Gigabit copper 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 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

The G-L copper arrangement provides GE aggregation under LAN Lite. Confirm that the machine cell needs neither optical uplinks nor higher-tier functions, and retain cable-category and negotiated-rate evidence for both copper uplinks.

Primary dossier: Migration dependency map

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. Compare port count, media, transceivers, power, rail fit, protocols, timing and configuration conversion with Cisco's named migration product. A successor family is a planning lead, not evidence of drop-in equivalence. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-4T-G-L, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Build a side-by-side migration workbook covering physical dimensions, rail kit, power terminals, access and uplink media, reusable optics, configuration conversion, protocol behavior and monitoring identifiers. Highlight every manual change and required outage step. The Cisco migration PID should initiate this engineering review, not replace it.

Secondary control: Ring-recovery test

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. Document ring membership, blocked path, failure injection and measured recovery for the selected resiliency design. Keep timestamps and switch logs so the result can be distinguished from an uncontrolled cable interruption. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Security configuration review

Retain the implemented access controls, unused-port state, management restrictions and logging checks. Describe only settings verified in the running configuration, not every capability mentioned for the product family. 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-3100-4T2S-E; validate the complete replacement design rather than assuming equivalence.
