We currently have 2960 stacks in our uplink closets at East. We are going to replace them with all 3850 switches next week. What I planned on doing is copying the current 3850 config at East campus MDF to the new switches in IDF and of course changing management IP and anything else I needed to change. Can I copy the config and keep the QOS intact on the new 3850 and I also believe there was a auto software upgrade command I need to run before I put each new switch in the stack.
The big question I have is this. I want to make sure I get the switch priority correct so that Switch 1 is actually switch 1 and contains ports G1/0/1 – 48, and Switch 2 is actually Switch 2 and contains Switch ports G2/0/1 -48, etc , etc. I also want to make sure that if a switch should go bad in the middle of the stack and I need to replace it, I want to know if I just basically run the auto software command give it the same switch priority, put it back in place, and it gets the same Numbers on the switch ports when I put it back in place.
I should be able to handle port channel and everything else. Any other input would be appreciated
Config I will be transferring to new switch stack is attached. Figured I can transfer config then change switch priority, and command "software auto update" then add to switch stack
