Well, you can use the IP Base license, which is $0. IP Services,
which includes all decent routing protocols, is $10k.

 S323IBK9-12218SXF (IP Base        ) USD      0.00
 S323ISK9-12218SXF (IP Services SSH) USD 10,000.00

The good news -- if any -- is that Advanced IP Services and
Enterprise Services are *also* $10k. So if you need more than
basic routing, the price at least won't be worse than on the
Sup720.

Yes, I also found it hard to believe... But alas.
