The Cisco Embedded Service 2020 Series Switches are optimized for mobile and embedded networks that require switching capability in harsh environments. Customers in such industries as oil and gas, mining, transportation, and defense are all increasingly requiring IP based networks. The flexible, compact form factor of the switch cards, complemented by Cisco IOS^®Software, provides highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes.

Product Overview

The ESS 2020 is designed for embedded applications requiring low cost, small size, and ruggedization:

• Consists of main board and optional port expansion board
• Conforms to common PC104 form factor board size (approximately 4" x 4")
• Main board:

2x Gigabit Combo ports: Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) (100 Mb and 1G) or RJ45 uplink

8x 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports

RS-232 console

Primary Features

• Security:Dot1x, port security, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allow dynamic port-base authentication; Secure Shell Version 2 (SSHv2); Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) provides encrypted administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions; TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication facilitate centralized control and restrict unauthorized users
• Resiliency:Flex links for fast recovery, Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) for fast convergence
• Manageability:Auto SmartPort, Web Device Manager, Telnet, HTTPS access, and SNMP
