Q.What is the difference between the Cisco IOS Software feature sets?

A.The differences between the three Cisco IOS Software feature sets are:

●LAN Lite feature set has entry-level Layer 2 features and is targeted at midmarket deployments.

●LAN Base feature set comes with advanced Layer 2 features and is typically targeted at enterprise customers.

●IP Lite feature set comes with enterprise access Layer 3 features and is typically targeted at enterprise customers.

Q.How can I tell the difference between IP Lite, LAN Base, and LAN Lite switches for the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series?

A.Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series front panel sticker has the feature set name. From the rear of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switch, the LAN Lite models do not support stacking. The left side will not have a location for the FlexStack-Plus module to be inserted.

From the Cisco IOS Software command line, there are two ways to tell which software image the switch has.

●The last letter in the product ID. If the last letter is “-L,” it’s LAN Base. If it’s “-LL,” it’s LAN Lite. If it’s “-I,” it’s IP Lite.

For example: WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I is IP Lite. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is LAN Base. WS-C2960X-48TS-LL is LAN Lite.

●The output from the “show license” Cisco IOS Software command-line interface (CLI) command. If LAN Base is being used, that will be the active license. If it’s LAN Lite, that will be the active license. In the following example output, LAN Base is the active license.

Q.What are the notable hardware differences between the LAN Base and LAN Lite switches in 2960-X switches?

A.The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switches support LAN Base and LAN Lite software feature sets. Following are the notable hardware components present only in LAN Base switches:

●Ease of management with Cisco FlexStack-Plus

●Power over Ethernet/Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE/PoE+) capabilities

●Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) support
