Features and Benefits
Industrial-Grade Reliability: Maintenance-free
reliability can provide years of uninterrupted
service in a wide range of severe temperature
and hazardous gas conditions.
Advanced Security and Traffic Control Features
in a Hardened Switch: No switch vendor
matches Enterasys for providing a secure

available in a fully-industrialized switch.
Fully Managed Solution: The I-Series is securely
SNMP-managed to allow control of the device
by authorized users from anywhere on the
network, while all events and traffic statistics are
reported and tracked by the Enterasys Network
Management Suite (NMS).

Easy Installation: Optional memory
configuration card allows non-technical
personnel to field-replace I-Series switches with
a simple removal and reinsertion of a memory
configuration card. The card carries a copy of
the switch configuration and allows settings to be
quickly transferred to another
I-Series switch.
