Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X IP Base to IP Services Factory IOS Upgrade (SKU C3560X-24-IOS-S-E=)?
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-X IP Base to IP Services factory IOS Upgrade (SKU C3560X-24-IOS-S-E=) is a perpetual license that elevates your switch from IP Base to IP Services feature set, unlocking advanced routing, multicast, and QoS capabilities.
Which features are unlocked by the IP Services upgrade on a Catalyst 3560-X switch?
The IP Services license adds enhanced Layer 3 routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), advanced multicast (PIM-SM, PIM-DM), MPLS L2VPN, VRF-lite and granular QoS, optimizing network scalability and performance.
Is the IP Services license upgrade permanent or time-based?
The upgrade is a one-time, perpetual license bound to your switch’s serial number, with no recurring fees, ensuring lasting access to IP Services features.
How do I verify compatibility before purchasing C3560X-24-IOS-S-E=?
Confirm your switch model is Cisco Catalyst 3560-X 24-port IP Base. Review the current IOS version and ensure no hardware-modules conflict. Check Cisco’s compatibility matrix on the official website.
What steps are involved in installing the IP Services IOS upgrade?
1. Obtain the license file from Cisco’s licensing portal. 2. Upload the file to the switch via TFTP or USB. 3. Apply “license install” command in global configuration. 4. Reload the switch to activate IP Services features.
Can I downgrade back to IP Base after applying the IP Services license?
No, the upgrade permanently converts your switch to IP Services. You may recover baseline features by loading a compatible IP Base IOS image if needed.
Do I need SMARTnet support to install the IOS upgrade?
SMARTnet is not mandatory for license installation, but having an active SMARTnet contract ensures access to software downloads, TAC support, and entitlement verification.
Will the IP Services upgrade affect existing configurations?
Existing Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 configurations remain intact. New features become available after reload; you may need to adjust configurations to leverage enhanced services.
How do I check the license status on my Catalyst 3560-X switch?
Use the “show license status” or “show version” command in privileged EXEC mode. The output displays active licenses and feature sets.
What are the system requirements for applying the IP Services IOS upgrade?
Ensure at least 256 MB flash and 512 MB RAM, running Cisco IOS 15.x compatible with IP Services, and network connectivity to Cisco’s licensing server or a TFTP/USB source.
How long does it take to complete the upgrade process?
The licensing steps take approximately 5–10 minutes, plus a 3–5 minute reload. Total downtime is typically under 15 minutes.
Can I deploy the upgrade remotely?
Yes. Transfer the license file over TFTP/FTP, apply commands via SSH or console, and reload the switch remotely, provided you maintain secure access.
Is the upgrade eligible for volume or enterprise discounts?
Volume and enterprise purchasing agreements may apply. Contact your Cisco representative or authorized partner to discuss bulk pricing and contract terms.
What support options are available post-upgrade?
With an active SMARTnet contract, you receive 24×7 TAC support, software updates, and hardware replacement. Without SMARTnet, only the perpetual license remains valid.
How do I renew or transfer the license to another switch?
Perpetual licenses are nontransferable. For a new switch, purchase a separate license. Renewals apply only to SMARTnet support, not the license itself.
Where can I purchase the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X IP Services upgrade license?
Buy directly from Cisco’s online store, authorized partners, or distributors. Ensure you provide the switch serial number for entitlement validation.
