The Allen-Bradley Stratix 8300 Layer 3 managed switch extends the Allen-Bradley Stratix 8000 industrial switch family to provide Layer 3 routing capability. As a full-featured Layer 3 switch, the new Stratix 8300 offers static, dynamic, multicast, redundant, IPv6 and policy-based routing and VFR-Lite virtualization. This allows for maximum flexibility in providing secure segmented architectures for industrial Ethernet applications.
Optimized with features for both IT and manufacturing environments, the Stratix 8000 and 8300™ Modular Managed Ethernet Switches are the first of their kind. The result of a joint collaboration between Cisco and Rockwell Automation, this industrial Ethernet switch line uses the current Cisco Catalyst operating system, feature set, and user interface, making IT professionals feel at home. At the same time, it provides easy set-up and comprehensive diagnostic information from within the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture.
Users have the benefits of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) interface for predefined Logix tags and configuration screens in RSLogix 5000 programming software, as well as diagnostic faceplates for Rockwell Software FactoryTalk View HMI software, which is the preferred way for controls and automation professionals to integrate networked devices. Modular and industrially rated, the product line scales from 6 to 26 ports with options for copper and fiber to meet a variety of applications.

Key Software Features
| Feature | Benefit |
| Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) | Provides robust features compatible with the Cisco IT enterprise environment. |
| RSLogix 5000 AOP (Add On Profile) | Enables easy switch setup and diagnostics with Logix controllers and the Integrated Architecture. |
| VLAN (Virtual LAN) with trunking | Helps ease network management in the production network. |
| QoS (Quality of Service) | Enables prioritization of applications, users, or data flows to help provide a higher level of network predictability. |
| Bandwidth Threshold Alarming | Supports alarms to track network changes and detect malfunctioning devices. |
| STP/RSTP (Spanning Tree Protocol/Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) | Provides a resilient path between switches for applications that require a fault-tolerant network. |
| REP (Resilient Ethernet Protocol) | Supports ring, ring segment, or nested ring segments, providing network resiliency across switches with a rapid recovery time. |
| MAC ID Port Security | Enables tracking network changes from the controller through new MAC ID notifications. |
| DHCP per port | Supports assigning a specific IP address to each port, enabling device replacement without manually configuring IP addresses. |
| SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) | Provides familiar IT tools to monitor and configure network-attached devices. |
| CIP Sync (IEEE 1588) | Supports very high precision clock synchronization across automation devices for time-critical tasks such as accurate alarming for post-event diagnostics and precision motion. |
| IEEE 802.1x Security | Tracks access to network resources and helps secure the network infrastructure. |
| IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping and Querier | Reduces multicast traffic from intensive IP applications, such as I/O control on EtherNet/IP. |
| EtherChannels | Provides port trunking technology to automatically redistribute network traffic in the case of a failed link. |
| Smart ports | Recommended port configurations commonly used in automation network applications. Smart ports optimize a port configuration to the type of device connected. They are easily assigned and help prevent port misconfiguration. |
| Layer 3 Routing | Enables routing between VLANs and subnets. Supports Statix, dynamic, multicast, redundant, IPUG, and Policy -based routing and VFR-Lite vertualization. |
| Port Mirroring | Copies network traffic seen on one switch port to another. Typically used as a diagnostic tool. |
