Overview
The Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series is a range of compact, fanless, fixed-configuration DIN-rail industrial switches that deliver Gigabit Ethernet in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, and smart-city networks, and in extended-enterprise sites such as warehouses and distribution centers. The IE-3200-8T2S-E is the 8-port, data-only configuration with two 1G SFP uplinks at the Network Essentials tier. Network Essentials provides Layer 2 switching with inter-VLAN and IPv4 static routing, but no dynamic routing protocols, and the IE3200 is a fixed-configuration platform rather than a modular one. Because the series has no stacking, resiliency comes from REP, Fast REP, and MRP ring topologies and from dual redundant DC power inputs.
Technical Details
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E is a Layer 3 managed, fanless, fixed-configuration DIN-rail industrial switch with 8 Gigabit Ethernet copper data ports and two 1G SFP uplinks, running Cisco IOS XE with the perpetual Network Essentials license. It forwards at line rate on all ports for all packet sizes and holds up to 8,000 MAC addresses. It carries no Power over Ethernet, so all eight access ports are data-only. It supports inter-VLAN and IPv4 static routing; dynamic routing protocols are not included at the Network Essentials tier. Operating temperature is -40 °C to +70 °C in a vented enclosure, and it is fanless with dual redundant DC power inputs. It is used for wired connectivity of industrial devices such as PLCs, HMIs, drives, cameras, and sensors in factory-floor, utility, and transportation networks.
Best For
The IE-3200-8T2S-E suits factory-floor, utility, warehouse, and transportation networks that connect non-powered industrial devices such as PLCs, HMIs, drives, and sensors over Gigabit Ethernet, with two 1G SFP uplinks for fiber or copper aggregation. Its fanless DIN-rail chassis, -40 °C to +70 °C operating range, and dual redundant DC inputs fit unconditioned enclosures. The Network Essentials license fits Layer 2 and static-routed segments with REP or MRP ring resiliency.
Not suitable if:
- you need dynamic routing such as OSPF, BGP, or EIGRP, since the IE3200 is Network Essentials only and provides inter-VLAN and static routing
- you need 10G uplinks, since this model has 1G SFP uplinks (the modular IE3300-8T2X and IE3300-8U2X provide 10G SFP+ uplinks)
- you need to add ports later, since the IE3200 is a fixed-configuration switch (the modular IE3300 expands with IEM-3300 modules)
- you need to power devices such as IP cameras or wireless access points, since this is a data-only switch with no Power over Ethernet

Part Number Decode
- IE-3200 — IE-3200 is the platform prefix, identifying the Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series of compact, fanless, fixed-configuration DIN-rail industrial switches.
- 8 — 8 is the copper downlink count, indicating eight 10/100/1000 RJ45 access ports; the two uplink ports are counted separately, for ten ports in total.
- T — T is the downlink type marker, indicating data-only copper ports with no Power over Ethernet.
- 2S — 2S is the uplink code, indicating two 1G SFP fiber uplink ports.
- E — E is the license suffix for the perpetual Network Essentials tier, the only network license on the IE3200 Rugged Series.

FAQ
Does the Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E support PoE?
No. The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E is a data-only switch, and its eight copper access ports carry no Power over Ethernet. It cannot power devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or IP phones. For Power over Ethernet in the same series, Cisco offers the IE-3200-8P2S-E, which provides PoE and PoE+ on eight copper ports from a 240 W budget with the same two 1G SFP uplinks and Network Essentials license.
What transceivers do the uplinks on the IE-3200-8T2S-E use?
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E has two 1G SFP uplink ports. These are 1-Gigabit slots and do not accept 10G SFP+ optics. For industrial temperature ranges Cisco offers ruggedized (RGD) SFP optics; using non-industrial optics derates the switch's operating temperature. Specific transceiver compatibility should be verified against Cisco's transceiver compatibility matrix for this platform. Transceivers are sold separately.
Can the Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E be stacked?
No. The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E does not support stacking, and the IE3200 Rugged Series has no stacking technology. Multiple units are managed as individual switches. Redundancy is built at the network layer using Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), Fast REP, or Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) ring topologies, and at the hardware layer using the switch's dual redundant DC power inputs.
What are the operating temperature and environmental ratings of the IE-3200-8T2S-E?
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E operates from -40 °C to +70 °C in a vented enclosure, from -40 °C to +60 °C in a sealed enclosure, and from -40 °C to +75 °C in a blower-equipped enclosure. It is fanless and convection-cooled with no moving parts, mounts on a DIN rail, and is powered by dual redundant DC inputs (9.6 to 60 VDC). Storage temperature is -40 °C to +85 °C and operating altitude is up to 15,000 feet. It is hardened against vibration, shock, surge, and electrical noise.
Is the Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E a Layer 3 switch?
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E is a Layer 3 switch. With its perpetual Network Essentials license it performs inter-VLAN routing and IPv4 static routing, but it does not run dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, or EIGRP, and the IE3200 has no higher network license tier. For full dynamic routing, the modular Catalyst IE3300 ordered with Network Advantage carries those protocols.
Does the IE-3200-8T2S-E require a subscription to operate?
No. The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E runs on its perpetual Network Essentials license indefinitely, and no subscription is required for it to operate. Cisco offers an optional, term-based Cisco Catalyst Center Essentials license that adds discovery, assurance, and automation, including SD-Access Extended Node mode. That license is a management add-on, is not mandatory, and does not change the switch's network feature tier.
Is the Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E end of life?
No. Cisco has not published a hardware End-of-Sale or End-of-Life notice for the Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series or the IE-3200-8T2S-E. The published end-of-life notices for the series cover specific Cisco IOS XE software releases and the 4GB SD card accessory, not the switch hardware, so the IE-3200-8T2S-E remains an actively available product.
What condition is the IE-3200-8T2S-E sold in, and what warranty applies?
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3200-8T2S-E is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy.
