Hi,

Are you trying the "sdm prefer" command in config mode? E.g.

     conf t

          sdm prefer lanbase-routing

          end

     wr

     reload

Hi,

Can you post the output of the show license command? This seems like you're running only a LANLITE license set. For routing support, you need to run LANBASE license set.

Best regards,

Peter

here u go,

sh license

Index 1 Feature: lanbase

        Period left: 0  minute  0  second

Index 2 Feature: lanlite

        Period left: Life time

        License Type: Permanent

        License State: Active, In Use

        License Priority: Medium

        License Count: Non-Counted

Can you try more up-to-date release, e.g.

http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282867583&flowid=2578&softwareid=280805680&release=15.0.2-SE&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=ED&reltype=latest

[majedalanni]

sdm should be in 12.3 and up as I recall, but will try.

Thanks

Peter was right, you switch is running with lanlite license. You switch model is WS-C2960S-24TS-S, so it should be using lanlite license (lanbase ends with -L).

Catalyst 2960S image ships with universal image and the software image on the   switch is either the LAN base or LAN Lite image, depending on the  switch  model.

And you cannot upgrade it to lanbase.:

Q. Can I upgrade or downgrade a Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switch between the LAN Base and LAN Lite images?

A. No. Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches cannot be upgraded from LAN  Lite to LAN Base and cannot be downgraded from LAN Base to LAN Lite.

In other words, the feature set is fixed during manufacture.
