Product Overview
Network Configurations
The switch CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and is enhanced to support desktop-switching features. You can fully
configure and monitor the switch. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to
the switch management port, or a console port, or by using Telnet from a remote management station. See the
switch command reference on Cisco.com for more information.
 SNMP network management
You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms such as HP
OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of Management Information Base (MIB)
extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com
and the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information.
 Common Industrial Protocol
The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) management objects are supported. The Cisco IE 4000 can be managed by
CIP-based management tools, allowing the user to manage an entire industrial automation system with one tool.
 PROFINET TCP/IP and RT
This switch supports PROFINET TCP/IP and RT and can be managed by Siemens' automation software such as STEP
7.
Network Configurations
See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for network configuration concepts and examples of using
the switch to create dedicated network segments and interconnecting the segments through Gigabit Ethernet
connections.
