System Management Software Configuration Guide for Cisco IE 2000U and Connected Grid Switches
1
Overview
This document describes how to configure system management features on the Cisco Industrial Ethernet
2000U Series (IE 2000U) and Connected Grid Switches, hereafter referred to as switch. The switch can
be managed through one of the following methods:
• Command Line Interface (CLI) over a serial connection to the switch console or over a telnet session
• Web management interface through a browser (Network Management)
• Network Management Application through SNMP
This document describes managing the switch using the CLI. The CLI interface supports the standard
IOS commands.
Features
The switch ships with one of these software images installed:
• The LAN Base image includes advanced quality of service (QoS), flexible VLAN handling,
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) protocol classification support, resilient Ethernet
protocol (REP) for improved convergence time in ring topologies, Flexlink for fast failover in
hub-and-spoke topologies, and comprehensive security features.
• The IP Services image adds advanced Layer 3 features such as support for advanced IP routing
protocols, Multi-VPN Routing and Forwarding Customer Edge (Multi-VRF CE/VRF-Lite), and
Policy Based Routing (PBR).
Some features noted in this chapter are available only on the cryptographic (that is, supports encryption)
version of the switch software image. You must obtain authorization to use this feature and to download
the cryptographic version of the software from Cisco.com. For more information, see the release notes
for this release.
The switch has two different types of interfaces by default: network node interfaces (NNIs) to connect
to the service provider network and user network interfaces (UNIs) to connect to customer networks.
Some features are supported only on one of these port types. You can also configure enhanced network
interfaces (ENIs). An ENI is typically a user-network facing interface and has the same default
configuration and functionality as UNIs, but can be configured to support protocol control packets for
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP), and EtherChannel Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Port Aggregation Protocol
(PAgP).
