Creating Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Clusters

[charles.mccray@adreima.com]

We want to repurpose some 3750s & 3560s switches we have.

Is setting up a cluster simular to setting up switch stack?

Can we create a switch stack with various types of switches, say (2) 3750s & (2) 3560s?

I found the answer to my question. A switch cluster can have one or more Catalyst 3750-E switch stacks. Switch Cluster - Made up of cluster-capable switches, such as Catalyst 3750-E, Catalyst 3560-E, Catalyst 3750, and Catalyst 2950 switches.

A switch stacking together if they are "like for like":  ALL 3750/G/E/X, all 3650, all 3850, all 2960S/X/XR.  A mash-up of various models won't work because the physical shape of the stacking cable is different.  

HOWEVER, there is an archaic way of "connecting" differerent models of switches (using ethernet) called switch clustering.
