Product overview

The Cisco Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Switch Series revolutionizes Cisco's embedded networking portfolio with high-speed and security capabilities. The 10GE switch is optimized to meet specialized form-factor, ruggedization, port density, and power needs of many applications requiring customization and complements Cisco's off-the-shelf Industrial Ethernet switching portfolio.

The small-form-factor, board configuration options, and optimized power consumption provide Cisco partners and integrators the flexibility to design custom solutions for defense, oil and gas, transportation, mining, and other industries. With its zeroization, secure boot, and physical alarm relay capabilities, the embedded switch has the crucial security features needed to protect networks from cyber and physical threats. The ESS9300 runs the trusted and feature-rich Cisco IOS® XE Software, allowing Cisco partners and integrators to offer their customers the familiar Cisco IOS Command-Line Interface (CLI) and management experience on their ESS9300-based solutions. Additionally, Cisco IOS® XE Software also offers a powerful graphical management interface that is built-in, called WebUI, for an even more enhanced user experience.

The ESS9300 is a ruggedized 10G embedded platform designed for embedded applications for tactical, outdoor, and mobile installations requiring low power, small size, and ruggedization. Its features include:

• Single board
• Small form-factor board size (110 x 85 mm; 4.3 x 3.3 in.).
