Hello. I am a newbi at configureing two new C3850 as a stack. In the past I have had no issues stacking C3750's but for some reason I am having a hard time stacking C3850's.
Below I ran some commands of the first switch in the stack.
I appreciate any help resolving this issue.
Both switches IOS versions are the same (03.07.04E)
Both switches license feature versions are the same
SW1#sh license feature-version
Feature Name Version
---------------------------
ipservices 1.0
ipservices eval 1.0
ipbase 1.0
ipbase eval 1.0
lanbase 1.0
apcount eval 1.0
apcount 1.0
apcount 1.0
I plugged in both stacking cables. Upon plugging them in I get the following messages:
*Nov 30 14:07:08.000: %PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-6-CABLE_EVENT: Switch 1 stack power cable 2 inserted
*Nov 30 14:07:29.138: %PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-6-LINK_EVENT: Switch 1 stack power protocol is up on cable 2
*Nov 30 14:07:53.271: %PLATFORM_STACKPOWER-6-CABLE_EVENT: Switch 1 stack power cable 1 inserted
The stack only shows one switch: (SW1 I made priority 15, SW2 (not shown) I left at priority 1)
SW1#sh switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 006c.bcd4.3500 - Local Mac Address

I made sure that the stack ports were enabled on both switches:
#switch 1 stack port 1 enable
#switch 1 stack port 2 enable
