The following figure provides a visual depiction of an example TOE deployment.
1.6 Physical Scope of the TOE
The TOE is a hardware and software solution that makes up the following switch models;
Cisco Catalyst 3560-X and 3750-X running Cisco IOS 15.0(1)SE2. The network, on
which they reside, is part of the environment.
The Catalyst Switches are available in three feature sets:
• LAN Base: Enhanced Intelligent Services
• IP Base: Baseline Enterprise Services
• IP Services: Enterprise Services
The LAN Base feature set offers enhanced intelligent services that include
comprehensive Layer 2 features, with up-to 255 VLANs. The IP Base feature set
provides baseline enterprise services in addition to all LAN Base features, with 1K
VLANs. IP Base also includes the support for routed access, StackPower (available only
on the Catalyst 3750-X). The IP Services feature set provides full enterprise services that
include advanced Layer 3 features such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)v4, Enhanced
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)v2, and
Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)v2.
The IP Services feature set is only available as an upgrade option at the time of ordering
or through a license at a later time; there is no dedicated IP Services switch model. The
Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series Switches with LAN Base feature set can only stack with
other Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series LAN Base switches. A mixed stack of LAN Base
switch with IP Base or IP Services features set is not supported. Customers can
transparently upgrade the software feature set in the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X
Series Switches through Cisco IOS® Software activation. Software activation authorizes
and enables the Cisco IOS Software feature sets. A special file contained in the switch,
