C3750X-24T-S have IP base SW initialy. It is possible to upgrade IP services feature set? BGP routing is needed.

Hi Olegm,

3750-X Series support the LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services feature sets. Particularly for 3750X series switches though, we have a standard universal image available, that comes in different feature sets. I am listing these
feature sets, based on their level of support they off; as below:

• LAN Base: Enterprise access Layer 2 switching features
  
• IP Base: Enterprise access Layer 3 switching features
  
• IP Services: Advanced Layer 3 switching (IPv4 and IPv6) features
  

You can anytime upgrade from one feature set to another, as your network needs grow over time, by calling Cisco's licensing team and purchasing the next higher feature set.  I have attached following link, that talks about this in detail:

Advancing a device from the IP Base feature set to the IP Services feature set requires a new software activation license. However, migrating software images from one release to another (for example, from 12.2(52)SE to 12.2(53)SE) does not require a new license

So, when customers need to activate a different Cisco IOS Software feature set, they can purchase a product activation key for a desired feature set and obtain the UDI(s) for the device(s) to upgrade. UDI and PAK information are passed to Cisco's license portal, which generates the licenses and sends them electronically to the customer.
