IE-2000-8TC-G-L - Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switch

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

IE-2000-8TC-G-L 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 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 LAN Lite version of the eight-port GE-combo layout. Procurement should validate simple access requirements and optical transceivers while rejecting substitutions that silently change the license tier, timing support or L2NAT status.

Primary dossier: Monitoring acceptance

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. Connect serial number, cabinet, management address and upstream path to the monitoring object. Test link, device and power alerts and assign an escalation owner before closing commissioning. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-8TC-G-L, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Monitoring acceptance should prove that the serial and management address resolve to the correct cabinet and that alerts reach an accountable team. Exercise at least a link-state event and device reachability event, then confirm recovery closure. Store dashboard, notification route, severity and maintenance suppression behavior with the asset.

Secondary control: Cabinet and DIN-rail fit

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

Operational proof: Ring-recovery test

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. 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.
