This addition to the portfolio exhibits increased versatility with the

ability to support multiple network configurations. When used as a

layer 2 switch, the Stratix 5400 is an ideal solution for heavy industry

applications where dual ring architectures are required or where high

performance end devices, such as video or telephony, are needed.

When acting as a Layer 3 switch, routing is enabled between segmented

networks for better performance and protection from unwanted network

traffic. Segmenting the network helps to ease network changes, to

simplify network security management by building domains of trust and

to increase efficiency.

By choosing a switch co-developed by Rockwell Automation and Cisco,

your Operations Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT)

professionals leverage tools and technology that is familiar to them. By

helping to provide optimized integration, you can experience easier

commissioning and faster diagnostics retrieval.
