Cisco 3650 Question

[bneher4411]

I'm in the middle of replacing an old 3560-E IP based switch with a new 3650 LAN base switch. Is there anyway I can upgrade the new switch to IP base feature set? Thank you for your help.

Going from ip base to lan base is a license feature that you pay for.

About halfway down this page, in the License and Warranty section, is an explanation of the licensing and how to activate them.

Hello,3560E / 3750E

Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches run the universal software image that has the Cisco IOS code for multiple feature sets (ipbase & ipservices). To enable a specific feature set, you must use the software activation feature to install the software license for  that feature set. Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches support either  the noncryptographic or the cryptographic(k9 image) universal software  image.

They support two software feature sets: IP Base and IP Services

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE, the switches support these features:

            -Temporary software licenses

            - Rehosting a software license

            - Cisco License Call Home

Note:

If  the switch is running a software image earlier than Cisco IOS  12.2(46)SE, to run IP base feature - remove the IP services license from  the switch, save the switch running configuration, and reload the  switch. If the switch is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE or later,  enter thelicense boot level ipbase privileged EXEC command, save the switch running configuration, and reload the switch.

- If all the licenses are installed on the switch, the switch uses the highest license level, the IP services feature set.
