Chapter1 Overview
Features
The switch supports one of these feature sets:
IP base feature set, which provides Layer 2+ features (enterprise-class intelligent services). These
features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, EIGRP stub
routing, PIM stub routing, the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Routing Information Protocol
(RIP), and basic IPv6 management. Switches with the IP base feature set can be upgraded to the IP
services feature set.
IP services feature set, which provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services. It in cludes
all IP base features plus full Layer3 routing (IP unicast routing, IP multicast routing, and fallback
bridging). The IP services feature set includes protocols such as the Enhanced Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol. This feature set also
supports IPv6 access control lists (ACLs) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping.
Switches with the IP services feature set can be upgraded to the advanced IP services feature set.
IP services-only Layer 3 features are described in the “Layer 3 Features” section on page 1-12.
For more information, see Chapter 24, “Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping,” and Chapter 35,
“Configuring IPv6 ACLs.”
Advanced IP services feature set, which provides full IPv6 support. It includes all IP service features
with IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACLs. For more information on IP v6 ro ut ing, se e Cha pte r 39,
