Older

I need help

Hello Juan,

It is as easy as plugging in the cables if you have as minimum ipbase license on the new 3750X.

It won’t work if you have 3750x-24 running with LAN BASE and a 3750x-24 running IPBASE.

I would like to mention that a mixed feature Switch stack is not supported. A Switch Running a LAN Base license can only be stacked with another Switch running LAN Base license only.

Solution:

Purchase an IPBASE license for the 3750x-24 switch.

Workaround: Activate the temporal ipbase license and you will have 8.5 weeks to purchase a permanent.
Following is a link for reference:

Note: We may need to perform an IOS upgrade to the current stack because 12.2(35)SE5 is no longer available in our website.

Thanks,

Haihua

i can then insert the switch into a stack of 3750E 3750E switch, but must have the same version of IOS?

Now these are different machines

  3750X is not the same as 3750E

[Haihua Rong]

Hello Juan,

Correct the IOS needs to match to avoid version mismatch. We need to upgrade the currect stack to 12.2(55)SE5 because 12.2(35)SE5 is no longer available for the 3750X switches.

Look for the 3750E products.

So i have other question.

i can mixed hardware stack with 3750E and 3750X, but 3750E have a ipservice licence and 3750X have a ipbase licence.

i this case, can i attach the 3750X in 3750E Stack?

Hello Juan,

It works. Just take in consideration the next:

The master needs to run the IP services feature set, the master and backup master must be manually configured so that the switches running IP Services feature set have the highest priority to become the stack master and backup master. With this setup, if the master dies, the backup master that takes the master role is also running IP services.

[Juan Ibañez]

so that can i  mixed hardware stack for this case?

3750E (Master) IPservice License 12.2(55)SE5

3750E (Member Backup) IPService License 12.2(55)SE5

3750X (Member) IPBase License 12.2(55)SE5

the tree switches have the same ios version but de 3750X have a IPBase License

[Haihua Rong]

Yes.
