Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco C3650-48-S-E IP Base to IP Services Paper RTU License?
The Cisco C3650-48-S-E is a Right-to-Use (RTU) paper license that upgrades a Catalyst 3650 48-port switch from IP Base to IP Services feature set.
Which features does the IP Services license add to my Catalyst 3650 switch?
The IP Services license enables advanced routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), MPLS, IPv6 multicast, and enhanced security services on the Catalyst 3650.
Is the Cisco C3650-48 IP Base to IP Services license perpetual?
Yes, the C3650-48 IP Base to IP Services Paper RTU License is perpetual and does not expire once activated.
How do I activate the C3650-48-S-E Paper RTU License?
To activate, provide the license entitlement to Cisco Smart Licensing or enter the RTU authorization code in the switch CLI using the ‘license install’ command.
Do I need to restart the switch after installing this RTU license?
No restart is required; the Catalyst 3650 will immediately enable IP Services features upon successful license installation.
Can I rehost the IP Services license to another switch?
No, the paper RTU license is tied to the original switch serial number and cannot be transferred.
Where can I purchase the C3650-48 IP Base to IP Services Paper RTU License?
You can order the RTU Paper License through authorized Cisco resellers or directly via Cisco’s e-commerce portal.
What prerequisites are required before applying the RTU license?
Ensure the switch is running IOS XE 16.6 or later with the IP Base feature set and is registered in Cisco Smart Licensing.
How do I verify that the IP Services license is active?
Run the ‘show license status’ or ‘show platform software license all’ command in the CLI to confirm the IP Services license is active.
Does the RTU license include software updates and support?
The paper RTU license itself does not include updates; software maintenance and TAC support require an active Cisco SMARTnet contract.
What is the difference between IP Base and IP Services on Catalyst 3650?
IP Base offers basic Layer 3 routing and switching, while IP Services adds advanced routing protocols, MPLS, multicast, and security features.
Can I subscribe to a temporary license instead of RTU paper?
No, the C3650-48-S-E is only available as a perpetual RTU paper license; temporary subscriptions require a different SKU.
How long does it take to receive the RTU license after ordering?
Delivery time varies by region but typically ranges from one to three business days via email or postal service for the paper document.
Is there an upgrade path back to IP Base if I downgrade features?
No formal downgrade path exists; you can disable IP Services features but the license remains in place once activated.
What information is needed to register the RTU license?
You need the switch serial number, Cisco Product ID (PID), RTU license ID, and customer Smart Account details for registration.
Who can I contact for technical assistance with license issues?
For licensing or activation support, contact Cisco TAC or your authorized Cisco reseller for prompt assistance.
