IE-2000-4T-L - Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switch

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

IE-2000-4T-L is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch with six 10/100 copper 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 is the simplest six-copper-port LAN Lite profile in the set. Its purchase case should name the modest endpoint count, FE traffic ceiling and required basic switching behavior instead of relying on unrelated GE, fiber or industrial timing features.

Primary dossier: Asset and support record

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. Store exact PID, serial, installation site, purchase evidence, support status and configuration owner together. This prevents a similarly named IE 2000 variant from being used during support or replacement work. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-4T-L, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

The asset record should connect commercial evidence with operations: exact order code, serial, location, owner, software baseline, support milestone and replacement relationship. Require this record when issuing a spare or opening a support case so a nearby model with different media or entitlement is not selected by mistake.

Secondary control: Alarm-contact handover

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. 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. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Lifecycle action file

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. 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.
