What type of switch?

Usually layer-2 means, you have all the layer-2 functions plus static routes, RIP and EIGRP STUB.  Layer-3 means you can use all layer-3 protocols i.e. OSPF, ISIS, BGP, etc..

Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and  3560-X Series Software

In addition to  IP Base and IP Services feature sets, the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and  3560-X Series come with a new LAN Base feature set. The three feature  sets available with all Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Series Switches  are:

• LAN  Base: Enhanced Intelligent Services

• IP  Base: Baseline Enterprise Services

• IP  Services: Enterprise Services

The LAN Base  feature set offers enhanced intelligent services that includes  comprehensive Layer 2 features. The IP Base feature set provides  baseline enterprise services in addition to all LAN Base features. IP  Base also includes the support for routed access, StackPower, and  MACsec. The IP Services feature set provides full enterprise services  that includes advanced Layer 3 features such as Enhanced Interior  Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF),  Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), and  IPv6 routing such as OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6. IP Services feature set also  includes the Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and IP service-level  agreements (SLAs) initiator functionalities. All software feature sets  support advanced security, QoS, and management features. The IP Services  feature set is only available as an upgrade option at the time of  ordering or through a license at a later time; there is no dedicated IP  Services switch model.
