Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A 8-Port PoE+ Industrial DIN-Rail Switch with 2x 1G SFP Uplinks, Network Advantage

The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A provides PoE and PoE+ (802.3af and 802.3at) on its eight copper access ports, up to 30 W per port, from a 240 W base budget that expands to 480 W with a PoE expansion module. The budget is shared across all powered ports, so device count depends on each endpoint's draw.

The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A 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.

No. The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A does not support stacking, and the IE3400 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), Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Device Level Ring (DLR), or Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) on select base ports, and at the hardware layer using the switch's dual redundant DC power inputs.

The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A 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; 48 VDC is required for PoE and 54 VDC for PoE+). 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.

The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A and IE-3400-8P2S-E are the same hardware, with eight copper access ports, two 1G SFP uplinks, and identical performance, and differ only in license tier. The IE-3400-8P2S-E ships with perpetual Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 switching with inter-VLAN and IPv4 static routing. The IE-3400-8P2S-A ships with perpetual Network Advantage, which adds full dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP, RIP, IS-IS, and EIGRP for IPv4 and IPv6), VRF-lite, MACsec-256, and SGT/SGACL group-based segmentation with Cisco TrustSec. The 3,000 IPv4 route scale also requires Network Advantage.

Yes. With its perpetual Network Advantage license the Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A is a full Layer 3 switch that runs dynamic routing protocols including OSPF, BGP, RIP, IS-IS, and EIGRP for IPv4 and IPv6, and it supports SGT and SGACL group-based segmentation with Cisco TrustSec, VRF-lite, VRF-Aware SGT, and MACsec-256. It holds up to 3,000 IPv4 and 512 IPv6 indirect routes. Cisco TrustSec SGT/SGACL group-based segmentation is the primary feature that distinguishes the IE3400 from the IE3300.

No. The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A runs on its perpetual Network Advantage license indefinitely, and no subscription is required for it to operate. Cisco offers optional, separately purchased Cisco Catalyst Center Essentials or Advantage licenses that add discovery, assurance, analytics, and automation; the Catalyst Center Advantage tier also requires the switch to carry Network Advantage. These Catalyst Center licenses are management add-ons, are not mandatory, and do not change the switch's network feature tier.

No. Cisco has not published a hardware End-of-Sale or End-of-Life notice for the Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series or the IE-3400-8P2S-A. 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-3400-8P2S-A remains an actively available product.

The Cisco Catalyst IE-3400-8P2S-A is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy.
