Overview
This chapter provides an overview topics about the Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X switch software:

The term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a switch stack.
In this document, IP refers to IP Version 4 (IPv4) unless there is a specific reference to IP Version 6
(IPv6).
Note The examples in this document are for a Catalyst 3750-X switch. When showing an interface in a
command-line interface (CLI) command, the example is on the Catalyst 3750-X switch, for example,
gigabitethernet 1/0/5 . The examples also apply to the Catalyst 3560-X switch in which the specified
interface on a Catalyst 3560-X switch is gigabitethernet0/5 (without the stack member number of 1/ ).
Software Features
The switch supports an IP Base software image (with or without payload encryption) for customers
without a service support contract. This image supports the IP Base and LAN Base feature sets.
Customers with a service contract receive a universal image (with or without payload encryption), which
includes the LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services feature sets. On switches running payload-encryption
images, management and data traffic can be encrypted. On switches running nonpayload-encryption
images, only management traffic, such as a SSH management session, can be encrypted.
You must have a Cisco IOS software license for a specific feature set to enable it. For more information
about the software license, see the
Cisco IOS Software Installation document on Cisco.com.
The switch supports one of these feature sets:
•
LAN Base feature set—Provides basic Layer 2+ features, including access control lists (ACLs) and
quality of service (QoS). Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE, the LAN Base feature set also
supports static IP routing on switch virtual interfaces (SVIs) for 16 user-configured routes.
• IP Base feature set—Provides Layer 2+ and basic Layer 3 features (enterprise-class intelligent
services). These features include access ACLs, QoS, static routing, EIGRP stub routing, PIM stub
routing, the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and basic
IPv6 management.
