The Cisco Catalyst IE34 Heavy Duty Series switches deliver the advanced capabilities similar to the Cisco Catalyst IE34 Rugged Series in environments that have heavy exposure to dust and water. These switches are available with 8, 16, or 24 Fast Ethernet (D-coded) or Gigabit Ethernet (X-coded) M12 interfaces. The switches can be wall mounted and deployed without a housing cabinet. The IE34 Heavy Duty Series switches are powered by Cisco IOS® XE, a next-generation operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring Secure Boot, image signing, and the Cisco Trust Anchor module. Cisco IOS XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models. The IE34 Heavy Duty Series can be managed with powerful tools such as Cisco DNA Center and Industrial Network Director, and can be easily set up with a completely redesigned, user-friendly, modern GUI tool called WebUI. The platform also supports Flexible NetFlow for real-time visibility into traffic patterns and threat analysis with Cisco Stealthwatch®.
