Hi,

I am trying to stack 2 3650 switch with same IOS both of them are L2 LAN based switches. When I connect the two switches I get the error mentioned below.

What firmware is the stack running on?

Hi Leo,
This is the software version I am using in all the switches. I am having the issue when I am using 2 Catalyst 3650 switches 48 ports or one 48 ports and other 24 ports.
Cisco IOS Software [Denali], Catalyst L3 Switch Software (CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9- M),
Version 16.3.7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)
Thanks & Regards

Hi,

What is the firmware version? We noticed the same type of bug in C9300 switches.

Hi,

Let please confirm a few things:

1. What is happening if you are booting the same switch as standalone?

2. Are both switches are having same IOS version?

Hi Deepak,

When we reboot the switch independeltly the stack configuration is still there and after reboot it still have got the same. So I have to hard reset the switch to factory default. If they work standalone they work fine.

 

Yes both the switches have got the same IOS version.

 

Thanks & Regards

Rohit.

Hello

Just like to add and confirm how are you stacking these two switches?

 

Have you provisioned the master switch prior to stacking it -

Do you shutdown the slave switch prior to attaching it to the master?

 

Have you made sure the stack cable cables are okay and are seated correctly  


Please rate and mark as an accepted solution if you have found any of the information provided useful.
This then could assist others on these forums to find a valuable answer and broadens the community’s global network.

Hi Paul,

 

Yes I had provisioned the master switch prior to stacking it.

Yes I shutdown the salve before I connected it to the master switch.

The stack cables are brand new.

 

I did stacking for three 3650 48 port LAN based and it went just fine. No issues. I am only experiencing problem with the same model switched that I need to deploy in different location. Not sure what's going on.

 

Thanks & Regards

Rohit.

Did anyone find a fix to this?  I'm deploying a bunch of 3650s and am running into the same issue.  I'm running 16.3(8) on all stacks.  4 stacks are OK and 3 are showing the following error:

The switches are just rebooting over and over.  If I remove the stack adapters they come up in standalone mode just fine.  Then when I re-insert the stack adapters and reboot they get stuck in a boot loop again.

 

What is going on here?  Does anyone have a fix for this?

Update the firmware to, like, 16.6.6.

I thought 16.3(8) was just as new as 16.6(6).  Do you know for sure if this bug has been fixed in the 16.6 train (where it hasn't been in 16.3?).

 

I only ask because I'm pretty sure some of my switches came running 16.6(6) and still didn't boot properly with the stack modules installed but I'm certainly happy to try upgrading.  I will post my results as soon as I can.

Upgrading from 16.3(8) to 16.6(6) did not fix the issue.  What else can I try?
