Overview
This chapter provides these topics about the switch software:
• Features, page 1-1
• Default Settings After Initial Switch Configuration, page 1-14
• Network Configuration Examples, page 1-17
• Where to Go Next, page 1-21
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 stacking-capable switch. When you specify an interface in a
command-line interface (CLI) command, the interface is on the stacking-capable switch, for example,
gigabitethernet 1/0/5.
The examples also apply to the nonstacking-capable switch. In the previous example, the specified
interface on a nonstacking-capable 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 cryptographic and noncryptographic universal software images support the IP base
and IP services feature sets. To enable a specific feature set, you must have a Cisco IOS software license
for that feature set. For more information about the software license, see the Cisco Software Activation
for Dell 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.
