we bought these switches to be a replacement of our 2960 switches, and they are working perfectly.
but when I read the software and switch version I get confused because of the underlines part "L3" and Lite IOS.
does that means It supports L3 features? or it's Lite IOS-XE ? do I have to stick to the LITE version of the software?
in the previous switches production line such as 2960 3560 ..etc it was more clear.
does that means It supports L3 features? or it's Lite IOS-XE ? do I have to stick to the LITE version of the software?
someone explain this please, and TIA

Layer 2, Routed Access (RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF -– 1000 routes), PBR, PIM Stub Multicast (1000 routes), PVLAN, VRRP, PBR, CDP, QoS, FHS, 802.1X, MACsec-128, CoPP, SXP, IP SLA Responder,SSO
Thank you

Lite same replicate of IOS XE - But they made it very lite as universal image to make switch work optimally.
Some of the libraries not required (unlike Cat 9300 required to operate)

Go to the Licensing section of the Data Sheet and scroll down to Table 10.
It will provide a rough overview of what Layer 3 function the switch is meant to do.
