Add a new Stack member to existing Stack with different license levels

[metelcomag]

Hi

I' m going to add a new 3750X Switch to an existing stack. The existing stack is build of two 3750X switchs with different feature sets:

show switch detail

*1 Master xxxx.xxxx.xxxx 15 3 Ready ==> Iicense level ipservices WS-C3750X-12S-E
2 Member yyyy.yyyy.yyyy 10 3 Ready==> license level ipbase WS-C3750X-48T-S

now i want to add switch Nr 3

License level ipservices WS-C3750X-12S-E. The Software image of all switchs is the same C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M

My question is if i stack switch Nr. 3, does it becom switch number 3 or number 2?

If the the switch becomes Number 2 is there any service interruptions or downtime?

Thanks for support and regards

Daniel

Normally, the new switch would join with the next available switch member number, unless you're dealing with pre-provisioned switches.

Hi,

Agree with Joesph.

Ensure you connect the new switch powered off and connected the stack cables to avoid any unwanted disruptions.
