Without an active IP Services license, the switch falls back to IP Base or LAN Base, losing dynamic routing protocols. What is the of your Catalyst 3560 switch

: Indicates the file is "zip" compressed and runs from RAM.

Allows co-locating multiple isolated routing tables on a single switch, crucial for multi-tenant environments.

IOS 15.0(2) has a larger footprint than the older IOS 12.2 images that many 3560 switches originally shipped with. This version is part of the final maintenance

The base tier handles basic campus switching. It supports standard Layer 2 switching, VLANs, quality of service (QoS), and fundamental static routing. Dynamic routing is limited to basic RIP (Routing Information Protocol) or stub-routing implementations for EIGRP and OSPF. IP Services (Premium Features)

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 series switches remain a staple in enterprise networking labs, small-to-medium businesses, and legacy access layers due to their robust feature set and exceptional reliability. For network administrators managing these devices, selecting the correct Cisco IOS software image is critical.

: This describes the feature set. "IP Services" is a high-level software package that includes full Layer 3 routing capabilities (like BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF) and advanced Quality of Service (QoS). The "k9" indicates it includes strong 3DES/AES encryption for secure management.
