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.
