Cisco 1100 Series Industrial Integrated Services routers are compact, modular, and ruggedized, with a design that is optimal for mission-critical cases. It offers stronger industrial router security and simplified management with SD-WAN architecture, edge compute, and IOS XE.
As the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches do not come with a fan, it is really good for the environment that requires quietness, as these switches are super quiet, not even with any air flow noise. Of course, if you are going to deploy it to a hot, humid environment, that's a no brainer. Plus, those switches have some built-in POE ports that make them quite handy for connecting PoE CCTV cameras and VoIP phones
It really suited our requirement really well and also was quite cheap to be honest for the performance level it has. So I would highly recommend it. Definitely in that sort of an environment I described in a sort of remote location where it might have high humidity or it might have a wider range of temperatures, it's been an organized model, it's well suited to that. It's also very useful. Where do you have connections, which tends me a lot more common I think in that sort of ruggedized type environment. For other peripherals like door sensors and serial connections. Where it's not so useful is the form factor doesn't really sit being mounted in a data center type environment. So that's not really what it's intended for. So it's not surprising the form factor means it takes a little about two to three U of space, which is a lot more than a standard router takeoff, but that's not really as intended purpose, so that's not a big problem.
First of all, if I encounter something, it's really easy for me to find an answer from Google. That's because that's a very famous company, lots of people using that. And for example, what if we have a bot or something? Hard questions, hard problems. It's really easy to find out from the outside world because everybody use it.
we identified an unpublished bug that the devices are all generating the same engine id for snmp v3, hence could not get the snmp v3 working on all of the devices.
for improvement, maybe Cisco can introduce some edge computing or AI driven diagnostics to preemptively flag network anomalies.
we bought the 24 port version of the switches 9320, it would be good to introduce some switches modules that can easily get the switch port density upgrade in case we need to have more, rather than buying a whole new switch.
They are positive routers for us, since they are highly durable and with minimal energy consumption, they generate great confidence to continue using them in the future. We are very happy because it has increased the positive aspects of our network and our technological security, since we can trust that our information will be completely safe with these routers.
its slightly frustrating that even the AC power supplies which are using normal power ranges, still require a licensed electrician to complete the first time connections, and that the power modules are hot swappable from the rear, so ensuring front and rear access is a must for long term servicing of the unit. Other than those draw backs the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches is fantastic and integrates into our SDA fabric
These worked well out of the box. Low cost, easy to manage, stable code base. Its small footprint and DIN rail mounting is welcome for crowded enclosures. It also is very easy to replace if something goes wrong. I especially appreciate that when 5G becomes available, I can simply replace the modem without incurring significant costs to replace and rewire the router.
It is a technical support very capable of responding to each of our needs, they are fast and with adequate and very timely responses, from the beginning of the implementation they gave us good suggestions so that the routers were successful, the attention they gave us was great and no hiccups.
We did wish there was a rack mountable router option with a similar pricepoint. While being deployed in remote sites, they often still have standard racks rather than DIN rail mounts and would use less space if they were a standard 1U size and shape. Modules take up extra Us of space.
Compared to the Cisco Industrial Ethernet switch IE2000, those Catalyst Industrial IE9300 switches provide high port density, 24 ports vs 8 ports on the Cisco Industrial Ethernet switch IE2000, PoE functions with high PoE budget without any external power injectors, more flexible with the uplink ports (4x1GSFPs), can be fibered up, and of course in that case, higher throughput
I have not experienced performance from other networking platforms though Cisco Catalyst IR1100 Rugged Series Routers is very powerful and most effective in service delivery. The operational cost can be afforded by both small and large-scale businesses. Workflow automation enhances faster service delivery and creates room for the deployment of new services. I commend this platform to any organization that is struggling to realize development dream in networking programs.
The routers of the Cisco Catalyst IR1100 IR1100 series guarantee that every corner of the company maintains and maintains the same speed. It is better to implement and promote the fluidity of the work to continue using this system. The consumption of low energy consumption is interested because the completion is completed.
The overall management of server power efficiency has been greatly improved.
