Overview

This chapter provides these topics about the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switch software:

•Features, page 1-1

•Default Settings After Initial Switch Configuration, page 1-13

•Network Configuration Examples, page 1-16

•Where to Go Next, page 1-31

The term switch refers to a standalone Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E switch and to a Catalyst 3750-E 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-E switch. When you specify an interface in a command-line interface (CLI) command, the interface is on the Catalyst 3750-E switch, for example, gigabitethernet 1/0/5.

The examples also apply to the Catalyst 3650-E switch. In the previous example, the specified interface on a Catalyst 3560-E switch is gigabitethernet0/5 (without the stack member number of 1/).

Features

The switch supports either the cryptographic (supports encryption) or the noncryptographic universal software image. The universal software image supports the IP base, IP services, and advanced IP services feature sets. 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 Software Activation and Compatibility Document on Cisco.com.

Some features described in this chapter are only available on the cryptographic software image. You must obtain authorization to use these features and to download the cryptographic software from Cisco.com. For more information, see the release notes for this release.

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.
