VRF not supported in 3650

[AlexandreOppermann]

Hi Guys,

need help and suggestion

I am trying to using VRF for my company on serveal 3650 switches, after I input " ip vrf vpn1" command, the system pop up as " the feature does not supported "

I am using a WS-C3650-24TD-S IP BASE switch with Image: CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9 Version:16.3.5b

Hi,

IP Base license does not support VRF.  You need to purchase and install "IP Services" license before you can use VRF.

What is the firmware correct ?

[AlexandreOppermann · Accepted solution]

the solution was the commands below:

license right-to-use activate ipservices all
license right-to-use activate ipservices all acceptEULA

[Reza Sharifi]

That is the solution but if you have not purchased the "IP services license" Cisco will not support it.
