RE: Cat3560 IOS Advanced IP Services feature set to disappear

My guess (and it is purely a guess) is that they'd just rename "Advanced IP
Services" to "IP Services" when they do the cutover and just replace the old
IP Services image. Why throw out good code?

Hi Dale,

Found this a little alarming myself. Last date of support is April this
year, and according to the software advisor the following are not available
in IP Services:
DHCP - DHCPv6 Server Stateless Auto Configuration
DHCPv6 - Relay - Reload persistent Interface ID option
DHCPv6 Client Information Refresh Option
DHCPv6 Ethernet Remote ID option
IPv6 Access Services: DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation
IPv6 Access Services: DHCPv6 Relay Agent
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Throttling
IPv6 Routing - EIGRP Support
IPv6 Routing: OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3)
IPv6 Routing: RIP for IPv6 (RIPng)

Since they do not support IPv6 BGP NLRI, if this is correct then static
routing looks like the next big thing(!?)
Have sent a query in about it to check.

Paul.
