L-C4500E-LB-IP Use Case
Dynamic Campus Routing with L-C4500E-LB-IP-UPG
A multinational enterprise campus running Catalyst 4500E switches needs scalable, automated routing between distribution blocks. By applying the L-C4500E-LB-IP-UPG 4500E LAN Base to IP Base software license (electronically delivered), IT teams unlock OSPF, EIGRP and VRF-Lite features. The outcome: simplified route management, sub-50 ms failover, and segmented networks that scale with zero forklift upgrades.
Voice & Video QoS Acceleration with IP Base Upgrade
A corporate headquarters deploying unified communications on Catalyst 4500E struggles with jitter and packet loss under LAN Base. Upgrading to IP Base via L-C4500E-LB-IP-UPG (electronically delivered) activates advanced QoS, policy-based routing and WRED. As a result, voice and video streams gain priority, ensuring sub-5 ms latency, 99.999% uptime and a consistent end-user experience across all branches.
Secure Multi-Tenant Segmentation for IoT and Healthcare

The L-C4500E-LB-IP-UPG 4500E LAN Base to IP Base license (electronically delivered) enables VRF-Lite and dynamic routing per tenant. This delivers HIPAA-compliant segmentation, reduces attack surface and provides granular traffic control without additional hardware.
