Questions & Answers
What is Cisco ONE C3850-24 LAN Base to IP Services Smart License?
The Cisco ONE C3850-24 LAN Base to IP Services Smart License is an upgrade license that enables advanced Layer 3 routing, MPLS, and Segment Routing features on Cisco Catalyst 3850-24 switches under Cisco’s Smart Licensing framework.
Which advanced features does IP Services add over LAN Base?
IP Services unlocks full Layer 3 routing (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), MPLS, VRF-Lite, IPv6, advanced QoS, and enhanced security capabilities not available in LAN Base.
How does Cisco Smart Licensing work for this upgrade?
Cisco Smart Licensing provides a centralized, cloud-based portal that automatically tracks license consumption and compliance for your C3850-24 IP Services upgrade without manual intervention.
How do I activate the Smart License on my C3850-24 switch?
Log in to the Cisco Smart Software Manager, register your switch’s Unique Device Identifier (UDI), then enter the ‘license smart register idtoken’ command on the switch CLI to activate IP Services.
Can I transfer the IP Services Smart License to another switch?
Yes, Cisco Smart Licensing allows you to deregister the current UDI and reassign the IP Services license token to a different Catalyst 3850-24 switch via the Smart Software Manager.
Do I need a Cisco DNA subscription for IP Services?
No, the IP Services Smart License provides full advanced routing and network services without requiring a Cisco DNA subscription or DNA Center integration.
What are the hardware prerequisites for this license upgrade?
Ensure your Catalyst 3850-24 switch is running IOS XE 16.6.3 or later and meets the required memory and CPU specifications to support advanced Layer 3 and MPLS features.
Which software versions support the IP Services upgrade?
Cisco IOS XE versions 16.6.3 and higher support IP Services on the Catalyst 3850-24 when the Smart License is properly installed.
How can I verify the IP Services Smart License status?
Use the ‘show license status’ or ‘show platform software license’ commands on the switch CLI to confirm active IP Services entitlements and registration status.
What is the license validity period for the upgrade?
The C1-C3850-24-L-E Smart License is perpetual, providing indefinite access to IP Services features unless you voluntarily deregister or replace it.
Does this upgrade include software updates and support?

How do I renew or extend my Smart License token?
Perpetual Smart Licenses do not expire; for additional features or support you can purchase and assign an annual subscription add-on in the Cisco Commerce Workspace.
What are the benefits of using Smart Licensing?
Smart Licensing simplifies compliance, offers real-time usage dashboards, reduces manual license tracking, and ensures seamless feature activation across your Cisco estate.
What performance impact should I expect after upgrading?
Upgrading to IP Services has negligible performance overhead as advanced routing and MPLS features execute directly on the Catalyst 3850 forwarding plane.
Can I downgrade from IP Services to LAN Base?
Yes, to downgrade remove the IP Services license from the Smart Software Manager and reboot the switch, which reverts it to the LAN Base feature set.
