首先EMI是增强型多层软件镜像,而SMI只是简单的多层软件镜像,也就是说在IOS方面两者有比较大的区别。不过既然都是多层软件镜像,当然都支持3层路由,这是绝对肯定的,EMI比较SMI增强的特性部分列举如下:
1、EMI支持高性能路由。支持所有常用的、业界标准的IP路由协议(RIPv1、RIPv2、OSPF、IGRP、EIGRP),可以实现负载均衡和构建可扩展的LAN。静态IP路由,可以手工创建一个含有网络路由信息的路由表。VLAN间IP路由可以在两个或者更多的VLAN中实现完全的第三层路由。用于负载均衡和冗余性的同成本路由.用于在一个网络中进行IP多播路由的独立于协议的多播(PIM),让网络可以接收所请求的多播数据,去除那些没有参与多播的交换机支持PIM稀疏模式(PIM-SM),PIM密集模式(PIM-DM)和PIM疏密模式。距离向量多播路由协议(DVMRP)隧道可以将两个支持多播的网络通过不支持多播的网络连接在一起。低效运行非ip协议Cisco的热备用路由器协议(HSRP)可以创建冗余的故障恢复路由拓扑。而SMI仅支持静态和RIP还有简单的OSPF,也没有上述的其他功能。
2、用于第三层负载均衡和冗余的等成本路由需要增强型多层软件镜像(EMI)。
3、在安全性方面SMI的IOS只支持Cisco标准的和扩展的IP安全路由器ACL(RACL)可以定义路由接口的安全策略,而如果需要用于控制面板和数据面板的通信量需要增强型多层软件镜像(EMI)。
4、动态主机配置协议(DHCP)中继可以让一个广播DHCP请求传送到网络DHCP服务器需要增强型多层软件镜像(EMI)。
5、还有等等比如在服务质量,限速等。最重要一点,从SMI到EMI的升级并不是只要简单的刷一下IOS的。

Understanding 3550 Software Image Naming Conventions: SMI vs EMI
The 3550 is either a Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) switch, depending on the software version and feature set you install.
The naming conventions for 3550 images begin with either of the following:
The differences between the two are explained below.
The SMI image is essentially a L2 only image. In software version 121-8.EA1b, however, enhancements to the L2 feature set were made. Consequently, you may see the term Layer2+ used for this and later SMI releases. In software version 121-11.EA1, basic L3 functionality was added to the SMI image with static unicast routing, the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and other features. Consequently, you will see the phrase basic Layer 3 routing features used for this and later SMI releases.
The EMI image is a L2 image combined with a full L3 feature set, including Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) and Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Version 4, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM), and other advanced services.
