LAN BASE and LANE LITE Software

Hi ,
I found this info in the Q&A for Catalyst 2960 Switches:
Q. What are the advantages of Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Base software relative to Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with the LAN Lite software?
A. Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches deliver intelligent services for branch offices and wiring closets. The LAN Base IOS software supports enhanced Layer 2+ security, quality of service (QoS), availability, and scalable management to enable new converged applications. Catalyst 2960 LAN Base switches include both 10/100 Fast Ethernet and 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in 8-, 24-, and 48-port configurations.
Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches are for entry-level branch office and wiring closet networks. They simplify the migration from nonintelligent hubs and unmanaged switches to a fully scalable and reliable network. The LAN Lite IOS software supports standard Layer 2 security, QoS, and availability while lowering the network total cost of ownership. Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite switches deliver 10/100 Fast Ethernet connectivity in 24- and 48-port configurations.
All Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches have technical support service options available through Cisco SMARTNet® service. All come with a Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, and LAN Base and LAN Lite software updates are provided at no additional cost.
my question is about the text in red color, does that mean that if I ordered (WS-C2960-24PC-L) then all the Ethernet interfaces can work at the 10/100/1000 ?

Hello and good afternoon,
Here is the link to the model comparisons:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6406/prod_models_comparison.html
There are gig uplinks on the lan-lite products.
Is there a specific application, feature or functionality you are looking for? Can I assist you all in finding the right switch?
Kindest regards and best wishes for a great new year!

3650 Switch Stack IP Base and LAN Base Software

Hello All,
I will have a 3 stack of 3650's. One switch will have the IP base image and the other two will have a LAN base image. I have read that all switches in the stack must have the exact image. If I have an IP based image and a LAN based image with the exact IOS version number, will the stack still work?
Thanks for your help

Take a look at this doc:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3650-series-switches/qa_c67-729531.html
Q. What are the license requirements for a Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch stack?
A. In a Cisco Catalyst 3650 stack, all switches should be at the same image-based license (IP Services/IP Base/LAN Base) level. The active switch license level is considered as the reference, and the member switch licenses are compared against it. If there is a mismatch, the active switch with the syslog message “license mismatch error” indicates that the stacking was unsuccessful.
Q. How is a “license mismatch error” fixed in a Cisco Catalyst 3650 stack?
A. The license level of the mismatched stack member switch can be changed with the license right-to-use activate <license> all acceptEULA CLI command (entire stack should have the same wired license level) and reloaded from the active switch console. This will enable the member switch to join the stack successfully. The customer has to purchase a license before moving to a specific license level.
Q. What happens after 90 days of activating an evaluation RTU license?
A. An evaluation RTU license EULA expects that customers will purchase a permanent license within 90 days. After 90 days the evaluation license will not be valid. Warning syslog messages about the evaluation license expiration are generated 10 and 5 days before the 90-day window ends. Warning syslog messages are generated every day after the 90-day period. The expired evaluation license continues to function with the daily syslog messages until the switch is reloaded. The expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after the reload.
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

LAN Lite, LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Service Image of Switching.

Dear all,
Please kindly help me what is differenct between LAN Lite, LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Service Image of Switching.
Hope see all of your feedback soon.Thanks!
KIND Regards,

Difference between LAN BAse Image and Enhanced Image

Can you tell me the difference between switches with LAN Base Image and Switches with Enhabced Image. I want to run HSRP and OSPF on two switches. Can I use LAN Base Image with this or is switches with Enhanced Image.
Many Thanks

The 2960 series does not have an Enhanced Image, just the standard software with and w/o crypto. The 2950 differences can viewed at the following link.

DHCP on both Wifi and LAN ports?

Everything works well; Wifi clients (MAC only), AppleTV, USB Hub with Printer and 3 External disks etc...
I plug in my MacPro via a LAN Cable and it does not get a valid IP Address from the DHCP server.
Tried setting a fixed IP with all the proper config, nothing gives.
I am a tried and true IT professional with over 20 years, and can't figure this one out. Anyone else have this problem?

That certainly should work. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) supports both wired clients (via the LAN ports) and wireless clients. All clients appear on the same subnet.
The MacPro has 2 Ethernet ports? Have you tried both of them? Check the Network preference pane to ensure that the one you are using is enabled.
Otherwise... have you tried using one of the other LAN ports? Have you tried a different Ethernet cable to eliminate the possibility of a defective cable?

This is not really a question but just a highlight. I have been for 20 minutes on the phone through the express lane support and I have been told that iCloud DO NOT stores music or video and cannot be used to pushes any music you bought through iTunes !

I have been amazed from the Express Lane support. I have been asking information about how to store/push my iTunes music in the iCloud. The answer has been that iCloud DO NOT stores you iTunes music at all !!!!! Is this real ?
I am Mobileme user since the beginning and just bought OS X Lion and all necessary software to maximise the use of iCloud and now I have to discover that what has been advertised for months on the web is just ballsheets.

Wow! It took you 3 week to come up with that ridiculous response?
Since I don't have access to the 11/13 web pages (my time machine is out of order), I can't provide that. However you know full well that iTunes Match has been live for the last 3 weeks, and it isn't "ballsheets."
As far as the "gift you may have to spend too much time on internet", it took you far longer to compose and post your whining rant that it would have if you just searched it with Google and got your own answer...

How can i telnet or get access to other LAN members in LAN without using third party software?

I have admin access to the main router in our LAN, so how can i telnet or get access to other LAN members in LAN without using third party software?
its linksys3500 router and i login as admin using the gateway address in address bar..
i want to access the c drive of my colleague in same subnet in same office and i know his ip address.but he not configured telnet accept request.so without it how can i open his telnet port and access him

I think you are using the wrong terminology. You can browse the hidden share of any pc if you know the ip and have a valid user account on the pc by typing in the following \\computername\c$ or \\ipaddress\c$ . It should prompt you for a user account. You may have to allow this through the windows firewall (or disable it completely).

Duplicate post.

Need some advise on a AEBS set up and LAN

Ok.
Signed up on DSL2+. I have a DSL modem i can bridge... i have 1x Airport Extreme (n + Giga LAN) and 1x Airport Express (n).
My apartment is cabled with Cat 5e. Im looking to get the fastest experience both for WAN and LAN possible and am wanting to have a G and an N capable network (for legacy devices and mobiles)
My thoughts, and where im looking to be challenged, is the best way to have the Thompson DSL modem set to bridge, and shoot the WAN to the Airport Extreme which would then distribute the IPs via DHCP. It would serve up N class wireless as well..
now the part i need some direction on.. the airport express, I cant shoot an N signal to it if i want it to share via G... so can I use a giga lan port on the Extreme and then plug it into the express and get it to share the same lan via G?

Hello Jono Haysom. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
now the part i need some direction on.. the airport express, I cant shoot an N signal to it if i want it to share via G... so can I use a giga lan port on the Extreme and then plug it into the express and get it to share the same lan via G?
Yes. With the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet, AND with the AXn reconfigured as a bridge, wireless clients connected to the AXn will be on the same LAN subnet as those clients connected to the AEBSn.

Recently bought airport Extreme and have connected the device to the modem. WIFI works. However when I connect the LAN port to a switch I do not see the LAN printer and my NAS. Which setting do I miss?

I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
Analysis:
Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?

Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

I do not see the LAN adapter and Wifi adapter in Control Panel Network Connections. Why?

Hi,
I am unable to connect to any network. When I started digging in, I reached to Control Panel > Network Connections. There I don't find any icons related to LAN connection or Wireless connection. Why could this be happening? How to investigate it further?

Cisco 4900 switch LAN base to IP base IOS upgrade

Hi,
I have purchased WS-C4900-SW-LIC= for upgrading 4900 switch from LAN base to IP base IOS.
I have not received any PAK or installable license file. Only license agreement is provided by CIsco.
While upgrading do I need to install license file on switch?
Regards,
Andy

Anderson,
Contact the licensing team and request for an update using your PO/SO since you have not received the PAK.
Link: https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Home
Indeed we need to install the license file on the switch
First copy this license to the switch's flash memory using the copy command
and a TFTP server.
Note, while the dir bootflash: command now lists the file in the bootflash, it has
not yet been installed. The license install command must be used to install
the license.
Example:
4948# license install flash:license_name-ips
Please issue the following command and then reload the switch.
4948(config)#license boot level ipservices
4948(config)#end
4948L# wr
4948# reload

Downgrade 3750X w/ IP Base to LAN Base for Stacking

I have a WS-C3750X-12S-S (IP Services) that I THINK I'd like to downgrade to LAN Base so I can stack it with a WS-C3750X-48T-L that is already LAN Base...
Can I do this? Any reasons I shouldn't? Small environment, isn't much routing at all going on here...Thanks!

That is because it is not an image it is a license.
However you will loose more than just routing abilities.
so if i where you i would go the other way.
I would buy a license upgrade to upgrade the Lan base to ip base instead.
otherwise you will loose alot of functionality that you might want/need such as eem, powerstacking and so on.
to buy a license to upgrade contact your local cisco rep.
to change to a license from ip base to Lan base contact cisco licensing

good luck
