The Stratix® 2500 Lightly Managed Switch enables network connectivity in

applications where traditional unmanaged switches lack the ability to provide

network resiliency, diagnostics and security, allowing you to achieve higher

productivity and network reliability.

The Stratix 2500 is oered in 5 and 8 10/100 Mbps fast Ethernet copper port

versions in a compact design. Its consistent delivery and prioritization of

trac, on a per-port basis, helps ensure that the critical trac is delivered

end to end with priority.

It can be installed in the network in two ways. By using the default, “out-of-

the-box” installation, you can prioritize network trac and commission the

device faster. Conguring the switch allows you to enable security, resiliency

and bandwidth optimization features needed for today’s industrial networks.

Stratix 2500 Lightly Managed Switch

Congurable, Compact Industrial Switch for Less Complex Applications

Features and Benets

Premier Integration into the

Integrated Architecture® System

• Add-on Prole for conguration via Studio

5000 Logix Designer® design environment

and FactoryTalk® View Faceplate for diagnostics

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership:

• VLANs allow for logical segmentation in a single switch, which reduces total number of switches needed

Improve network resiliency:

• STP helps detect network loops and prevents them before the network stops

• IGMP enables multicast for data trac control

Increase network security

• Port security allows users to disable ports, or control end device connectivity based on MAC address

• SSH and HTTPS provide secure connectivity

Minimized downtime

• SNMPv3 and Syslog monitor network-attached devices to uncover errors and decrease downtime

• Diagnostic information and alarm relay provide actionable information to resolve issues faster

Stratix 2500 Lightly Managed Switch Application

When congured, the Stratix 2500 lightly managed switch exceeds the capabilities of an

unmanaged switch by providing loop detection and prevention capability via STP, monitoring

and optimizing trac ow, and providing diagnostic information to help minimize downtime.

It also supports VLANs for logical segmentation, thereby helping reduce total cost of ownership.

As seen in the drawing below, using VLANs separates the trac within the Cell/Area zones and

keeps unwanted trac contained and reduces the risk of packet storms that can bring down

your network. The Stratix 2500 lightly managed switch can support up to 64 VLANs.
