components present only in LAN Base switches:
● Ease of management with Cisco FlexStack-Plus
● Power over Ethernet/Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE/PoE+) capabilities
● Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) support
Q. Do I need a software license for the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches?
A. No. Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches use the Universal image, but no license is required. The feature set is bound to the
hardware model type and cannot be changed.

6. Q. Can LAN Base and IP Lite feature set models stack together in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series?
A. No, LAN Base and IP Lite feature set models cannot be stacked together. LAN Base feature set models can stack with LAN Base
feature set models only. Similarly, IP Lite feature set models can stack with IP Lite feature set models only.
Q. What is the difference between the Cisco IOS Software feature sets?
A. The differences between the three Cisco IOS Software feature sets are:
● LAN Lite feature set has entry-level Layer 2 features and is targeted at midmarket deployments.
● LAN Base feature set comes with advanced Layer 2 features and is typically targeted at enterprise customers.
● IP Lite feature set comes with enterprise access Layer 3 features and is typically targeted at enterprise customers.
