With an Enterprise Services license activated on this image, the platform functions as a robust Layer 3 distribution node or small core. It provides hardware-accelerated routing for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy-Based Routing (PBR) for both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks. 3.

Deploying this specific maintenance release brings distinct advantages to modular campus networks:
The switch roared to life. Inside the silicon, the bootloader handed control to the new image. The
Ensure the supervisor has sufficient DRAM and Flash space (this binary is typically several hundred megabytes).
