Core IP Services Feature Differentiation vs IP Base
IP Services inherits all Layer 2 and baseline Layer 3 functions of IP Base, plus complete advanced routing suite: full OSPF, full EIGRP, BGP inter-domain routing, full PIM sparse-dense multicast routing, full IPv6 Layer 3 dynamic routing (OSPFv3/EIGRPv6/BGPv6), policy-based routing (PBR), WCCP web cache redirection, DVMRP multicast tunneling, fallback bridging for non-IP inter-VLAN traffic Cisco.
IP Base lacks full OSPF/EIGRP/BGP, full PIM multicast, full IPv6 Layer 3 routing and PBR/WCCP; LAN Base further restricts VLAN count to only 255 and only supports static SVI + RIP routing.
Stacking Architecture
Cisco StackWise 32Gbps full-duplex stacking bus supports up to 9 switches in a single unified logical stack, single IP management plane, distributed wire-speed forwarding, cross-stack EtherChannel, cross-stack RSPAN, cross-stack HSRP gateway redundancy, cross-stack multicast replication. Separate StackWise stacking cables sold as optional accessoriesCisco.
Power & Uplink Hardware Design
Fixed built-in single AC power supply (no redundant power slot, external RPS redundant power backup optional). Four rear independent hot-swappable SFP Gigabit uplink slots for fiber/copper Gigabit uplink expansion (1000BASE-SX/LX/LH/LH/ZX/CWDM/1000BASE-T copper SFP transceivers). Variable-speed front-to-back fan cooling dynamically adjusts fan RPM based on internal temperature to reduce acoustic operating noise under light load.
Front panel layout: 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports, multi-status LEDs for port link/activity/speed/fault. Rear panel hosts RJ45 RS232 serial console port, dual StackWise stacking connectors, four SFP uplink bays, AC power input lock, RPS backup connector, Kensington security lock. All copper ports support auto MDI-X, full-duplex flow control; SFP transceivers support hot swap without full switch reboot to minimize on-site maintenance downtime. No PoE power hardware integrated on this model.
