RTU Licensing (3650)

There are 3 license levels available on 3K switches:

• LAN Base: Enterprise access Layer 2 switching features
• * IP Base: Enterprise access Layer 3 switching features
• IP Services: Advanced Layer 3 switching (IPv4 and IPv6) features

On a 3650, licenses are Right to Use (RTU)...

• A Right to Use license scheme is an honor-based licensing model (doesn't mean FREE).
• Licenses are not tied to an unique device identifier (UDI), product ID, or serial number.
