C3560X-24-L-S= Use Case
Dynamic OSPF Routing for Multi-Site Branch Connectivity
A regional retailer deploys Cisco Catalyst 3560-X switches at 15 branch locations. By applying the C3560X-24-L-S LAN Base to IP Base license, each 24-port switch gains full Layer 3 routing capabilities. Enabling OSPF adjacency across WAN links delivers automated route exchange and sub-second failover. Outcome: simplified network management, reduced manual configuration errors, and 99.99% branch-to-headquarters uptime.
Secure Inter-VLAN Segmentation with Layer 3 Access Control
A financial services firm must isolate trading, accounting, and guest networks on a single campus switch. Upgrading to IP Base via C3560X-24-L-S unlocks inter-VLAN routing plus advanced ACL enforcement on the Catalyst 3560-X. Traffic between VLANs is tightly controlled, meeting PCI DSS and internal compliance mandates. Outcome: granular security policy application, zero-touch segmentation, and full audit-ready access logs.
Application-Aware QoS for VoIP and Critical Data Streams
A healthcare provider extends its telemedicine platform across multiple floors. The C3560X-24-L-S license upgrade transforms LAN Base switches into IP Base, enabling class-of-service (CoS) and application-aware QoS. Voice, video, and EMR data are prioritized in hardware at wire speed. Outcome: crystal-clear VoIP calls, jitter-free video conferencing, and guaranteed bandwidth for life-critical applications.

The C3560X-24-L-S= is a paper license upgrade that converts a Catalyst 3560-X switch from LAN Base to IP Base feature set.
Which features are enabled by the IP Base license on a Catalyst 3560-X switch?
IP Base adds advanced routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP stub), static multicast, enhanced QoS, and security features beyond LAN Base capabilities.
How do I apply the paper license C3560X-24-L-S=?
Submit the paper license token to Cisco or your reseller. Upon validation, download and install the license file on your switch via CLI or Cisco License Manager.
Is the IP Base license a perpetual or term license?
The C3560X-24-L-S= license is perpetual, granting lifetime access to IP Base features without recurring upgrade fees.
Can I transfer the license C3560X-24-L-S= to another switch?
Yes. Cisco permits one-time permanent transfer of the paper license between compatible Catalyst 3560-X devices, subject to Cisco Transfer Policy.
What are the system requirements for the IP Base upgrade?
You need a Cisco Catalyst 3560-X Series switch running Cisco IOS 15.0(2)EX or later and valid service contract for license activation.
Does the IP Base license support advanced IP routing protocols?
Yes. It supports OSPF, EIGRP stub, PIM, IPv6 static routing, and advanced multicast, enabling enterprise-level network designs.
Do I need any additional hardware to use the C3560X-24-L-S= license?
No additional hardware is required. The paper license activates software features already built into the Catalyst 3560-X hardware.
How long does it take to activate the paper license?
Activation typically completes within 24–48 hours after Cisco validation of your license token and service contract status.
Is technical support included with the IP Base license?
Technical support requires an active Cisco SMARTnet service contract. The license itself does not include support services.

Where can I order or renew the C3560X-24-L-S= license?
Order or renew through Cisco partners, authorized resellers, or the Cisco Commerce Workspace for streamlined purchasing and contract management.
What is the difference between LAN Base and IP Base feature sets?
LAN Base offers basic Layer 2 switching. IP Base adds Layer 3 routing, enhanced security, QoS, multicast, and IPv6 features for advanced deployments.
Does the IP Base license support IPv6 routing?
Yes. IP Base includes IPv6 static routing and OSPFv3, enabling dual-stack and pure IPv6 network environments.
How do I verify that the IP Base license is active?
Use the CLI command 'show license status' or 'show version' on your switch. Active IP Base features confirm a successful license upgrade.
Are there any prerequisites before installing C3560X-24-L-S=?
Ensure your switch is running a supported IOS release, has sufficient flash memory, and that your Cisco service contract is active.
