BGP on Cisco 3750E

[Rajeev Ranjan]

Dear Friends.

I need to use cisco 3750E switch on core. I want to know whether BGP is supported on this model or not?

Currently i have c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE/c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE.bin" preinstalled. and i checked BGP is not supported on this IOS image. Please help me.

Hi,

BGP is supported on 3750 series switches, but you need IP Services license before you can enable it.

You probebly currently have IP Base license

can you post "sh lice" and "sh ver"?

Yes, from sh ver your license level is IP base

License Level: ipbase

License Type: Permanent

Talk to your sales guy, and purchase IP Services license.  That is all you need.  You don't need to change the IOS.

Thanks Reza...

Can i upgrade IOS image rather than purchasing IP Services license? We dont have enough time to chase.

[Reza Sharifi · Accepted solution]

You don't need to upgrade.  You are already running one of the latest version.  Upgrading is not going to enable IP Services license.  You would need to buy the license and install it on the switch.

You can use this link to get a 90 trail license.  This gives enough time to purchase the permanent license.
