Cat3650/3850 can support Static Routing on Stackwise with LAN Base?

[mhiyoshi]

Dear all, 

I appreciate if you can let me know your feedback, in my opinion actually Cat3K can support limited layer 3 static routing

on Stackwise with LAN base feature right? however if I have been investigating with CCO there is following information, it is little bit complicated. it is better to know if there is such comment on CCO.

If the switch is running the LAN base feature set, you can configure 16 static routes on SVIs.

I know cisco document some time confusing - depends on how we read based on the context.

My notes, since I had some questions as you before how these are categorized.

LAN Lite：

·Entry-level

·Only bundled with small-business hardware

·Only supports Layer 2 routing

·A bare minimum of VoIP enhancement and security services

LAN Base：

·A good choice for small-to-medium sized businesses

·Enterprise access Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing

·Ingress policing, Auto QOS, and DSCP mapping.

IP Base：

·Medium-large business

·Complete access Layer 2 and Enterprise access Layer 3 routing

·Advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting, access control lists (ACLs),  basic static, and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) functions.

IP Services：

·Large-scale business

·Complete access Layer 2 and Complete access Layer 3 routing

·Dynamic IP routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), BGPv4, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

Hello
Just like to add the default SDM template would be specific for L2 if you wish to utilize basic ipv4 routing then you’ll need to change the template to advanced  and reload the device
conf t
sdm prefer advanced

end
