Hi @kousikdutta ,

• LAN Base: Enhanced Intelligent Services

• IP Base: Baseline Enterprise Services

• IP Services: Enterprise 

The LAN Base feature set offers enhanced intelligent services that include comprehensive Layer 2 features, with up-to 255 VLANs.

The IP Base feature set provides baseline enterprise services in addition to all LAN Base features, with 1K VLANs. IP Base also includes the support for routed access, MACsec, and the new Cisco Service Module.

The IP Services feature set provides full enterprise services that include advanced Layer 3 features such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), and IPv6 routing such as OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6. All software feature sets support advanced security, QoS, and management features.

By default Cisco routers coming by which licence..

Can vary based on the actual switch model even within the same family/series. Further, some models can be ordered with different licenses, although those that come with LANBase are often only available with that, those with IPBase might be initially ordered with IPServices (or later upgraded to it).
