Cisco 3750X and 3750

[dmumaw]

I have two WS-C3750-48PS-S switches and I need to add two more.  The new part number I am looking at is WS-C3750X-48P-S will these all stack together?

thanks

They should, but mixed 3750 Stackwise and Stackwise+ stacks can be more difficult to manage and original Stackwise series negates many Stackwise+ features.

Hi,

Yes, it is possible.

• Stack any Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch in the same stack (hardware mixed stack)
  
• Stack any Cisco IOS Software feature set in the same stack (software mixed stack)
  

Note: One exception is the new LAN Base models being introduced with the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series, which can stack only with other Catalyst 3750-X LAN Base models.

Please note that the Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3750-X will run StackWise Plus when connected to a stack of all Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3750-X switches, while it will run StackWise if there is one or more Cisco Catalyst 3750 in the stack

Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3750-X StackWise Plus and Cisco Catalyst 3750 StackWise switches can be combined in the same stack. When this happens, the Cisco Catalyst 3750-E, or Catalyst 3750-Xswitches negotiate from StackWise Plus mode down to StackWise mode

Refer:

Also If you go into configuration mode, and then do a "switch provision ?" command, it will show you what models, are currently supported for stacking, on your current code.

Regards.

Aru
