CISCO IE-2000-8TC-G-B Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switches

IE-2000-8TC-G-B exact hardware and software boundary

IE-2000-8TC-G-B is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch with eight 10/100 copper ports and two Gigabit combo uplinks. 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 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 G-B order provides Gigabit combo uplinks without the E/N timing profile. The design record should show why GE aggregation is required, which media are installed and why IEEE 1588 or translated addressing are outside the accepted scope.

Primary dossier: Security configuration review

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. 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. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-8TC-G-B, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Translate the security design into observable switch settings: administration restrictions, authentication path, disabled services, unused-port treatment, event logging and configuration integrity. Capture the accepted configuration and a dated verification output. Separate requirements supplied by upstream controls from those actually enforced on this switch.

Secondary control: Operations handover

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. Deliver the topology, port map, power record, software baseline, alert tests, lifecycle dates and unresolved exceptions to a named team. Evidence left only in installer notes is not an operational handover. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Industrial-protocol proof

Test only the industrial protocol roles required by the site and record the controller or endpoint used. Family-level support must not be presented as proof that a specific PROFINET or EtherNet/IP workflow is configured. 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-3100-8T2C-E; validate the complete replacement design rather than assuming equivalence.
