Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco C3650-24 LAN Base to IP Base Electronic RTU License (SKU L-C3650-24-L-S=)?
The Cisco C3650-24 LAN Base to IP Base Electronic RTU License (SKU L-C3650-24-L-S=) is a perpetual Right-To-Use software entitlement that unlocks advanced IP Base features on the Catalyst 3650-24 switch.
How do I upgrade from LAN Base to IP Base using the Electronic RTU License?
Register your switch in Cisco Smart Software Manager, import the license token via the CLI using 'license smart register idtoken', and reload the switch to activate IP Base features.
What additional features does IP Base provide over LAN Base?
IP Base adds advanced Layer 3 routing (static, OSPF, EIGRP stub, RIP), multicast, enhanced QoS, and security features beyond LAN Base’s Layer 2 switching capabilities.
Is the Electronic RTU License permanent or subscription-based?
The Electronic RTU License is a one-time, perpetual entitlement with no recurring subscription fees required for lifetime access to IP Base features.
What are the steps to install the C3650-24 Electronic RTU License?
Use the switch CLI to import the license token with 'license install url <token>', save the configuration, then reload the switch to complete the IP Base upgrade.
Can I revert my switch from IP Base back to LAN Base after upgrade?
No. RTU licenses are irrevocable; once the switch is upgraded to IP Base, it cannot be downgraded to LAN Base without a factory reset and Cisco support intervention.
Is SKU L-C3650-24-L-S= transferable to another device?
Licenses are bound to the switch serial number but may be transferred once to replacement hardware via the Cisco Licensing Portal under swap policies.
What are the main benefits of upgrading to IP Base?
IP Base delivers robust routing, advanced security, richer QoS, and seamless network segmentation, boosting performance, scalability, and management efficiency.
Does the Electronic RTU License include software updates?
Yes. It entitles you to minor software updates and patches within the same IOS XE release; major version upgrades may require separate entitlements.
Do I need any additional hardware to activate the IP Base license?
No additional hardware is required. The upgrade is purely software-based via electronic license activation on your existing Catalyst 3650-24 switch.
How long does it take to activate the Electronic RTU License?
Activation typically completes within minutes after registering the token in Cisco Smart Software Manager and reloading the switch.
What prerequisites are required before installing the license?
Ensure the switch runs a supported IOS XE version, has an active Cisco Smart Account, network connectivity to Cisco Smart Software Manager, and a valid license token.
Where can I purchase the SKU L-C3650-24-L-S= license?
You can buy SKU L-C3650-24-L-S= through Cisco-authorized resellers or the Cisco Commerce Workspace for official pricing and ordering.
Do I need to renew or extend the Electronic RTU License?
No. RTU licenses are perpetual and do not expire; renewal is not required. However, new major software releases may need separate upgrade entitlements.
Is technical support included with the Electronic RTU License?
Yes. Standard Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support for license installation and troubleshooting is provided under your existing warranty or service contract.
Does IP Base support advanced routing protocols?
Yes. IP Base supports static routing, OSPF, EIGRP stub, RIP, policy-based routing, and multicast protocols for complex network topologies.
How does upgrading to IP Base impact ROI?
By consolidating Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions in a single device, the IP Base upgrade reduces hardware costs, simplifies management, and accelerates ROI through operational efficiency.
