Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Native EtherNet/IP Integration: Unlike generic IT switches, the Stratix 5700 is recognized as a network device within Studio 5000 Logix Designer, enabling configuration, diagnostics, and alarming directly from the PLC programming environment.
- Device Level Ring (DLR) Support: Enables sub-3ms failover in ring topologies — critical for motion control and safety-rated networks where packet loss causes faults.
- Cisco IOS Feature Set: Built on Cisco’s proven IOS platform, providing enterprise-class security (802.1X, port security, ACLs) and manageability (SNMP, RSPAN, Syslog) familiar to IT teams.
- Dual SFP Uplinks: The 2 × Gigabit SFP ports allow fiber uplinks for long-distance runs or electrically noisy environments, eliminating ground loop issues common in industrial settings.
- Wide DC Power Input: 18–32 VDC range accommodates standard 24 VDC industrial power supplies with voltage sag tolerance — no separate power conditioning required.
- Compact DIN Rail Form Factor: Fits directly into standard control panels alongside PLCs, I/O modules, and power supplies without requiring a separate network cabinet.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 1783-BMS10CGP be used in a Device Level Ring (DLR) topology with ControlLogix?
A: Yes. The Stratix 5700 supports DLR as a ring supervisor or ring node. When used with a 1756-EN2TR or compatible EtherNet/IP adapter, it enables sub-3ms network recovery — suitable for motion and safety-critical applications.
Q: Does this switch require a separate Cisco IOS license?
A: The 1783-BMS10CGP ships with the Lanbase IOS image pre-installed, which covers Layer 2 features including VLANs, RSTP, QoS, and port security. Layer 3 routing features require the IP Services license (1783-LICSRVR8 or equivalent).
Q: Is the 1783-BMS10CGP compatible with non-Rockwell EtherNet/IP devices?
A: Yes. As a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet switch, it is fully interoperable with any EtherNet/IP-compliant device from any vendor. The Rockwell-specific features (AOP, Studio 5000 integration) are additive and do not restrict interoperability.
Q: What SFP modules are compatible with the uplink ports?
A: Rockwell-branded SFPs (1783-SFP series) are recommended and tested. Third-party Cisco-compatible SFPs may function but are not officially supported. For fiber runs over 550m, use single-mode SFPs (1783-SFP1GLX).
Q: Can this switch be configured without Studio 5000?
A: Yes. The switch can be configured via its web-based GUI, Cisco IOS CLI (console/SSH/Telnet), or SNMP management tools. Studio 5000 integration is optional but provides the most streamlined experience in a Rockwell architecture.
Q: What is the difference between 1783-BMS10CGP and 1783-BMS10CGL?
A: Both are 10-port Stratix 5700 switches. The BMS10CGP includes the full Cisco IOS IP Services feature set (Layer 3 routing, advanced QoS), while the BMS10CGL ships with the Lanbase image (Layer 2 only). Select BMS10CGP for multi-subnet routing or advanced network segmentation requirements.
