Need to change stack module of 2960

[swo.itadministrator]

Hello,

I got a new switch with no stack module inside it at the back. I have a old switch with a stack module. Is it feasible to take out stack module from old 2960 switch and insert it into new 2960 switch as I need to implement new switch in my environment.

Hello

Like for like models - yes it is feasible to do, in fact I have done this a few times recently!

The following are restrictions for your switch stack configuration:

• Stacking is not supported on switches running the LAN Lite image. All switches in the stack must be running the LAN Base image.
• In a mixed stack of Catalyst 2960-X and Catalyst 2960-S switches, the number of supported stack members is reduced from eight to four.
• In a mixed stack of Catalyst 2960-X and Catalyst 2960-S switches, full stack bandwidth is reduced from 80 Gbps to 40 Gbps.
• In a mixed stack of Catalyst 2960-X and Catalyst 2960-S switches, stack convergence time is increased from milliseconds to 1 to 2 seconds.
