Hi ,
Catalyst Switches 2960S and 2960X doesn't perform IPv4/IPv6 routing. It's not a software/IOS feature, it's separate hardware.
Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR IP-Lite is a the different hardware, if you have this exact hardware, you can run the L3 IP routing as stated below:
Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR IP-Lite High-Performance Routing
The Cisco hardware routing architecture delivers extremely high-performance IP routing in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR IP-Lite Switches:
● IP unicast routing protocols (Static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], RIPv2, RIPng, and EIGRP-Stub)are supported for network routing applications.
● Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (OSPF for Routed Access) are supported for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs. IPv6 routing (OSPFv3) is supported in hardware for maximum performance.
● EIGRPv3-Stub and PIMv6-Stub are supported as a part of the IPv6 routing suite.
● Equal-cost routing facilitates Layer 3 load balancing and redundancy across the stack.
● Policy-based routing (PBR) allows superior control by facilitating flow redirection regardless of the routing protocol configured (for both IPv4 and IPv6).
● Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) provides dynamic load balancing and failover for routed links.
● Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) for IP multicast is supported, including PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM), PIM dense mode (PIM-DM), PIM sparse-dense mode and Source Specific Multicast (SSM).
