Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

This appendix provides a command-line interface (CLI)-based setup procedure for a standalone switch. For information about setting up the switch by using Express Setup, see the Cisco IE 3000 Switch Getting Started Guide.

Before connecting the switch to a power source, review the safety warnings in Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.”

For installation procedures for mounting your switch, connecting to the switch ports, or connecting to the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, see Chapter 2, “Switch Installation.”

Accessing the CLI from the Console Port

You can access the CLI on a configured or unconfigured switch by connecting the console port of the switch to your PC or workstation and accessing the switch through a terminal emulation program.

To connect to the console port, follow these steps:

1.Using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port on the switch front panel (Figure 1-1) and to the PC or terminal port.

2.Start the terminal-emulation program on the PC or terminal. The terminal-emulation software, frequently a PC application such as Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus, makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.

3.Start a terminal-emulation session.

4.Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics:

–9600 bits per second

–8 data bits

–1 stop bit

–No parity

–None (flow control)

5.Power on the switch as described in the switch getting started guide and in the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-11.

IE 3000 Series, IEM30004PC specifications

The Cisco IEM30004PC is an integral component of the Cisco IE 3000 Series, designed specifically for deployment in harsh industrial environments. This managed Ethernet switch provides versatility, reliability, and robust performance necessary for industrial applications, supporting a range of Ethernet-enabled devices.

One of the main features of the IEM30004PC is its rugged design. The switch is built to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for usage in manufacturing plants, oil and gas facilities, and transportation systems. It operates within a wide temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring dependable functionality in varying environmental conditions.

The IEM30004PC is equipped with four 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports support both copper and fiber connections, providing flexibility for network installations. In addition, the switch supports various redundancy protocols, including Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which enhance network reliability and fault tolerance.

Another distinguishing characteristic of the IEM30004PC is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature allows the switch to deliver power over the Ethernet cables to connected devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, eliminating the need for separate power sources and simplifying installations.

Cisco's IEM30004PC also integrates advanced security features, including 802.1X port-based authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). These security measures ensure that only authorized devices can connect to the network, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall network integrity.

For network management, the IEM30004PC supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Cisco's Network Assistant, and other management tools. This enables centralized control and monitoring of the network, simplifying the administration and operation of industrial networks.

In summary, the Cisco IEM30004PC, as part of the IE 3000 Series, is engineered for robust performance in industrial settings. With its rugged design, multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE capabilities, and advanced security features, it is an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliable networking solutions in challenging environments. Its comprehensive management options further enhance its utility, making it an indispensable asset for modern industrial networks.
