The C3850-48XS-L-E is a software license upgrade that converts a Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-port switch from LAN Base to the full IP Services feature set via electronic delivery.
The IP Services license unlocks advanced Layer 3 routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), MPLS, IPv6, mLDP, VRF Lite and full distributed forwarding on the Catalyst 3850 platform.
Purchase the C3850-48XS-L-E license, redeem the Cisco eDelivery token, download the IP Services image from Cisco.com, and apply the license using the CLI ‘license install’ command followed by a reboot.
The C3850-48XS-L-E license is a perpetual, node-locked license that remains valid for the life of the hardware without additional renewal fees.
No. The C3850-48XS-L-E license is specifically for the Catalyst 3850 48-port 10G SFP+ switch; other 3850 models require their respective upgrade licenses.
Ensure the switch runs IOS XE 16.3.1 or later, has adequate flash storage, proper Cisco.com credentials, and an active Smart Account linked to your order.
E-Delivery tokens are typically sent via email within 1–2 business hours of purchase, granting immediate download access to the IP Services image.
Use the CLI command ‘show license status’ or ‘show platform software status control-plane brief’ to confirm that the IP Services license is installed and active.
No. The perpetual license is node-locked to the original switch’s serial number and is not transferable to other devices.
The license unlocks IOS XE feature sets; software updates and bug fixes require an active Cisco SMARTnet or support contract.
Cisco provides 24/7 TAC support, access to software downloads, and documentation when you maintain an active SMARTnet service agreement.
Yes. You can remove the IP Services license via ‘license clear’ and reload the switch, restoring the default LAN Base feature set.
While raw switching throughput remains the same, IP Services optimizes control-plane efficiency and expands routing capabilities for complex topologies.
Order through a Cisco partner or the Cisco Commerce Workspace using SKU C3850-48XS-L-E, and provide your Smart Account details for eDelivery fulfillment.
Verify the eDelivery token, ensure correct IOS XE version, check Smart Account association, and consult Cisco TAC with the output of ‘show license all’.
