Hi all,

While this is on-topic for this list, and the CCIE R&S lab, don't
worry -- there's no reason to panic :-)

Cisco have announced that the 'Advanced IP Services' IOS feature set
for cat3560 and cat3750 platforms (and their -E incarnations) is
End-of-Life.

See: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps5528/eol_c51_519208.html

"The functionality currently available in the Cisco Catalyst 3560 IOS
Advanced IP Services feature set switch is now available in Cisco IOS
IP Base and IP Services feature sets. This reduces complexity by not
requiring customers to upgrade software to utilize advanced IPv6
features."

and

"Customers are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco Catalyst 3560 IOS IP
Services feature set. Information about this product can be found at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5528/index.html"

This makes sense as IPv6 becomes more prevalent. It shouldn't really
be considered an 'advanced' feature.

cheers,
Dale
