[alfatic78]

What is the difference and what is high availability?

[Harold Ritter]

You can use the feature navigator on CCO to find out what is the difference between the two.

High Level

The IP Base feature set includes advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting, access control lists (ACLs), and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) functions. Dynamic IP routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), BGPv4, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)) are available only on the IP services image.

The IP Services image provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, which includes advanced hardware-based IP unicast and IP Multicast routing. Support for IPv6 Layer 3 switching in hardware is also available with the addition of the Advanced IP Services license to either the IP Base or the IP Services images. Both the IP base Image and the IP services image allow for Layer 3 and Layer 4 lookups for QoS and security.

You can compare all the features provided by the two feature sets using the Cisco feature navigator

For you to use the graphical interface, you will have to use the IOS image with  .tar extension available on the download page.

The Feature Set "IP Base" and "IP Services" are no longer in use. The new buzz words are now "Essential" and "Advantage".
