Cisco Industrial Networking is a technology platform designed for industrial environments that provides reliable and secure connectivity and communication between devices in industrial networks.
Rugged switches provide high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and are designed for a wide range of industrial applications where rugged products are required. The platforms are designed to withstand the harsh environments of manufacturing, energy, transportation, oil and gas. The platforms are also ideal for extended enterprise deployments in outdoor areas, warehouses and distribution centers.
These switches run the Cisco IOS® XE operating system, which is unified across all platforms. Cisco IOS® XE also provides configuration-driven APIs with open APIs and data models.
The Rugged Series can be managed using powerful management tools such as Cisco DNA Center and can be easily configured using a completely redesigned, user-friendly and modern GUI tool called WebUI. The platforms also support Full Flexible NetFlow (FNF) for real-time traffic visibility and threat analysis using Cisco Stealthwatch®.
Another important component is the resiliency enabled by features such as Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), Device Level Ring (DLR), and dual-input power supplies.
