Hello,
I am trying to add a 3750x to a stack. It is a mixed stack and all the members only use non-cryptographic IPBASE images.
Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image
------ ----- ----- ---------- ----------
1 52 WS-C3750G-48TS 12.2(35)SE5 C3750-IPBASE-M
2 52 WS-C3750G-48TS 12.2(35)SE5 C3750-IPBASE-M
* 3 30 WS-C3750E-24PD 12.2(35)SE5 C3750E-UNIVERSAL-M
I am trying to add the below
WS-C3750X-48P 12.2(55)SE10 C3750E-IPBASEK9-M
As you can see the 3750x I am trying to add has the IPBASEK9 image. Does anyone have a mixed cryptographic/non-cryptographic image environment.
These will not stack. The stack does not even seem to recognize the switch is there at all or gives version mismatch.
Is there a way I can downgrade the IPBASEK9 to just IPBASE? I am not in a position to get a K9 license for the other switches.
Thanks!

Hello
As far as I can see , they are not compatible to stack , Looks like only universal and ipbasek9 ios available for the WS-C3750X-48P

Stack feature is a model-based, not software-based. Theoretically it should be possible, however I do not quite understand why. Ideally your stack needs to run same software version to avoid odd functionality.
More information you could find here:
In your particular case you can download image from your stack and exchange it on your new stack member and add it to your main stack either through LAN or console (it will be long and painful).
