Switches can handle IPSEC, GRE, multicast & PIM

[renlijerry]

Hello experts,

I am new to network switches, I am looking for a switch that can handle IPSEC, GRE, 
multicast and PIM without purchasing additional/advanced licenses.
Can someone advise me?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

IPsec and GRE tunnels are functions of routers not switches, but if you have to use a switch to do IPsec and GRE then you need to look at the 6500 series.
