IE-SW-SPARE Overview
The Cisco IE-SW-SPARE is a software license that enables an upgrade from LAN Base to IP Services software image on Cisco IE-2000U Series Switches. By installing this license, IE-2000U switches gain advanced Layer 3 routing and multicast capabilities to complement their Layer 2 switching feature set.
The IP Services software image provides static and dynamic routing, IPv6 support, first hop redundancy, policy-based routing, VRF-lite, advanced QoS and security, as well as multicast routing protocols. This expands the role of IE-2000U switches from Layer 2 to Layer 3 and enhances network scalability, performance, and security for utility automation applications.
