IE-9320-26S2C-E Description

The IE-9320-26S2C-E brings the all-fiber stackable Catalyst IE9300 platform in at the Network Essentials tier: a fanless 1RU rack-mount rugged switch with 22 Gigabit SFP downlinks, 2 dual-media combo downlinks, and 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks, joined to as many as three more chassis over Cisco StackWise. Essentials on this platform is deliberately broad - OSPF with 1,000 routes, RIP, policy-based routing, REP and MRP rings with MRP over Stacking, HSR and PRP seamless redundancy with PTP over PRP, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP (CIP), GOOSE and SCADA classification, IEC 61850-9-3 Power Utility Profile timing, MACsec-128, and IOx edge compute all sit in the base license. That makes this PID a complete substation, ITS, and process aggregation node on its own, with the perpetual IE9300-NW-A= upgrade holding BGP, VRF-lite, TrustSec, MACsec-256, and fabric roles in reserve. Dual field-replaceable power modules, hazardous-location approvals, and a -40°C to +75°C envelope complete the utility-grade package.

Key Features

An Essentials Tier That Routes

Unlike smaller IE families, this platform’s base license includes OSPF, OSPFv3, RIP, and policy-based routing, so a fiber aggregation node can run a routed access design without any license upgrade.

PRP And HSR In The Base License

As a 26S2C model this PID runs HSR, PRP, and PTP over PRP at Essentials, delivering zero-loss duplicated LANs for protection and control traffic that most competing base tiers reserve for premium licenses.

Stack-Wide Ring Redundancy

StackWise joins up to four chassis with dual stack ports, and MRP over Stacking lets a media redundancy ring enter and leave different stack members, hardening the aggregation point itself.

Fiber Reach In Every Slot

All 26 downlink-side positions and 4 uplinks accept SFPs from FE grades through 80 km BX single-strand and CWDM/DWDM, with industrial -RGD and -I optics preserving the temperature envelope.

Grid-Grade Time And Compliance

IEC 61850-9-3 Power Utility Profile, PTP Power Profile 2011/2017, NTP-PTP interworking, IEEE 1613, and IEC 61850-3 come with the platform, keeping this Essentials unit fully substation-eligible.

Reserved Advantage Headroom

The perpetual IE9300-NW-A= license later activates BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite, BGP-EVPN over VXLAN, TrustSec with SGACL, MACsec-256, L3 NAT, and multicast routing on this same chassis, protecting the hardware investment.

Application Scenarios

Protection-Relay LAN Duty

Installed in substation control houses as the PRP RedBox layer for relays and merging units, where dual lossless LANs, 61850-9-3 timing, and IEEE 1613 compliance are the specification and Layer 2/OSPF duty fits Essentials.

Municipal Fiber Aggregation

Collecting traffic-signal and surveillance cabinets over municipal single-mode fiber, running OSPF and REP at the base tier while the stack grows one chassis per build-out phase.

Water And Energy Field Hubs

Anchoring SCADA concentrations at pump stations, compressor sites, and renewable plants where GOOSE/SCADA classification, hazardous-location listing, and dual isolated supplies matter more than fabric features.

  • Between the IE-9320-26S2C-E and IE-9320-26S2C-A nothing changes but the license on identical stackable hardware: -A activates BGP/EIGRP, VRF-lite, TrustSec including over PRP, MACsec-256, L3 NAT, multicast routing, and fabric roles, all of which this -E unit can adopt later through the perpetual IE9300-NW-A= upgrade.
  • IE-9310-26S2C-E offers the same 28-port fiber layout and license tier without StackWise: it draws 3W less and posts a higher MTBF, but each chassis stays an individually managed node and MRP over Stacking is unavailable, which caps multi-chassis growth plans.
  • For deciding which SKU to order, test the growth and policy axes separately: multi-chassis aggregation or stack-wide rings demand an IE9320 (this PID at Essentials), day-one segmentation or fabric membership moves to IE-9320-26S2C-A, and a permanently single-chassis fiber site can save with IE-9310-26S2C-E.

Selection Guide

1. What Essentials Already Solves

OSPF-routed access, REP/MRP rings, PRP-duplicated relay LANs, PTP Power Profile timing, PROFINET/CIP integration, and IOx sensors all run at this tier – audit the actual feature list before assuming the -A PID is required.

2. The Three Upgrade Triggers

Buy IE9300-NW-A= (or start on IE-9320-26S2C-A) when VRF-separated domains, TrustSec group policy – including TrustSec over PRP – or BGP/EVPN fabric participation enters the design; nothing else on this platform is license-gated in a way that blocks operation.

3. Stackable Or Single Chassis

Choose this stackable model when the fiber plant will outgrow 28 ports or when rings should survive a chassis failure via MRP over Stacking; a site that will never add a second unit can weigh IE-9310-26S2C-E and its higher standalone MTBF.

4. Same Hardware Rules As The -A

Power modules ship separately (two for A/B redundancy), copper GLC-T family SFPs stay off the combo ports and degrade PTP, and industrial-grade optics protect the -40°C to +75°C envelope – license tier changes none of this.

Ordering Checklist

Check Item

What to Confirm

Why It Matters

License tier audit

Verify no day-one need for VRF, TrustSec, BGP/EIGRP, MACsec-256, or fabric roles.

Those are the only -A exclusives here; buying -E then upgrading immediately costs more than one -A order.

Upgrade path on file

Note IE9300-NW-A= as the perpetual in-place upgrade in the project record.

A future segmentation project then orders a license, not a replacement switch.

Power module pair

Match module class to the site feed and order two for redundant A/B power.

Both module slots are empty at purchase and the low-voltage DC and AC-DC families differ.

Optics and combo ports

Specify industrial-grade SFPs and keep GLC-TE/GLC-T/GLC-T-RGD off the order.

Copper SFPs are unsupported on the dual-media ports and degrade PTP timing accuracy.

Stack cabling

Include CAB-STK-0.5M= or CAB-STK-1M= for every planned member beyond the first.

StackWise and MRP over Stacking only function with the dedicated cables in place.

Rack and media kit

Pick the RM-RGD rack kit for the rack standard and add SD-IE-16GB= for SwapDrive.

Rack kits are standard-specific, and zero-touch replacement depends on the optional SD card.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco IE-9320-26S2C-E used for?

    Cisco IE-9320-26S2C-E is used for rugged rackmount industrial networks that need many fiber downlinks, dual-media copper or fiber flexibility, and Network Essentials licensing. It fits utility, transportation, substation, and industrial aggregation roles where fiber is dominant.

  • What ports does IE-9320-26S2C-E include?

    IE-9320-26S2C-E has 28 total ports: 22 100/1000M SFP downlinks, 2 dual-media ports that can use SFP or RJ-45, and 4 100/1000M SFP uplinks. That layout is aimed at fiber-heavy industrial access and aggregation.

  • Does IE-9320-26S2C-E provide PoE?

    No. IE-9320-26S2C-E is a fiber-oriented model and does not provide PoE access ports. If PoE is required for cameras or access points, the IE-9320-24P4X-E is a better IE9320 option.

  • How is IE-9320-26S2C-E different from IE-9320-26S2C-A?

    IE-9320-26S2C-E ships with Network Essentials, while IE-9320-26S2C-A ships with Network Advantage. The port layout is the same, so the main buying decision is the required software feature set.

  • Is IE-9320-26S2C-E stackable?

    Yes. Cisco lists IE-9320 models with 2 StackWise ports, which helps when rugged rackmount switches need simplified management and resilient scaling. Stack design should still be matched to software version and deployment requirements.

  • Why choose IE-9320-26S2C-E instead of a DIN-rail IE3300 switch?

    Choose IE-9320-26S2C-E when the site needs high fiber density, rackmount form factor, and many fixed ports. DIN-rail IE3300 models are better for smaller cabinets and modular edge expansion.

  • Can IE-9320-26S2C-E connect both fiber and copper devices?

    Yes, but copper is limited to the 2 dual-media ports when RJ-45 is used. The model is primarily a fiber switch, so a copper-heavy deployment should use IE-9320-24T4X-E or another copper access model.

  • When is IE-9320-26S2C-E not the right IE9320 model?

    IE-9320-26S2C-E is not the right IE9320 model when the site needs 10G uplinks, PoE access, or mostly copper endpoints. IE-9320-24P4X-E covers PoE plus 10G uplinks, and IE-9320-24T4X-E covers copper access plus 10G uplinks.
