 What are the benefits of PoE?

 Power over Ethernet can provide a lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP Phones and Cisco

Aironet

wireless LAN access points, as well as any IEEE 802.3af compliant end device. It removes the need for wall power to each

PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and

wireless LAN deployments.

 How many devices can the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series power?

 The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series 24-port PoE configurations can support 24 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W for

maximum powered device support. Using Catalyst Intelligent Power Management, the 48-port version can deliver the necessary

power to support 24 ports at 15.4W, 48 ports at 7.7W, or any combination in between.

 Does the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series support standards-based PoE?

 Yes. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series supports IEEE 802.3af. It provides investment protection for the installed base of Cisco IP

Phones and Cisco Aironet wireless LAN access points by also supporting the Cisco prestandard PoE (inline power).

 Can the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series provide power to both IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE simultaneously?

 Yes, the switch automatically detects the end point to provide the appropriate power without any user intervention.

 What software images does the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series support?

 The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series can be purchased with the IP Base or IP Services licenses pre-installed. The IP Base license (formerly

called the Standard Multilayer Image, or SMI) offers advanced QoS, rate limiting, ACLs, and basic static and Routing Information

Protocol (RIP) routing functions. The IP Services license (formerly called the Enhanced Multilayer Image, or EMI) provides a richer

set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast and IP Multicast routing as well as policy-based routing

(PBR). The Advanced IP Services license, although not available as a pre-installed option, upgrades Catalyst 3560 Series switches to

include IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACL support. Upgrade licenses are available to upgrade a switch from the IP Base license to the IP

Services license or Advanced IP Services license as well as from the IP Services license to the Advanced IP Service license.

 Does it cost more for a Layer 3 or special-features license?

 The Cisco Catalyst 3560-24PS-E, 3560-48PS-E, 3560G-24TS-E, 3560G-24PS-E, 3560G-48TS-E, and 3560G-48PS-E are loaded

with the IP Services license, so all feature license fees are part of the standard list price. However, the Cisco Catalyst 3560-24PS-S,

3560-48PS-S, 3560G-24TS-S, 3560G-24PS-S, 3560G-48TS-S, and 3560G-48PS-S switches are loaded with the IP Base software.

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-24PS-S and 3560-48PS-S switches can be upgraded to the IP Services features with the purchase of the IP

Services upgrade kit for US$1995. The Cisco Catalyst 3560G-24TS-S, 3560G-24PS-S, 3560G-48TS-S, and 3560G-48PS-S switches

can be upgraded to the IP Services features with the IP Services upgrade kit for $3995. The IP Base feature set includes RIP and

static routing.

 What features are supported only on the IP Services feature license?

 The following features and functionality are supported with the IP Services license:



Dynamic IP routing protocols for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Interior

Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)



Policy-based Routing (PBR allows superior control by enabling flow redirection regardless of the routing protocol configured
