Replacing Cisco Switch WS-C3650-24PS-L

Hi Cisco Community,

I'm using Cisco Switch WS-C3650-24PS-L, but it needs to be replaced because of something is broken.

Unfortunately, it is really hard to find the WS-C3650-24PS-L in Indonesian Market.

Any recommended switch that can replace WS-C3650-24PS-L? Because, our understanding are the switch cannot be connected if we replaced with a different type.

Thank you.

Awaiting feedback.

3650 switches can still be RMA-ed.

Thanks for the information,

But if in a urgent condition, can we replace it by other c3650-24ps type or any switches?

Thank you.

Is the faulty unit in a stack?  Yes, it can be replaced quickly as long as the following guidelines are followed: 

• Replacement unit must be loaded with the exact same firmware
• The stack's firmware must either be in Install or Bundle mode
• IMPORTANT:  Power down the replacement unit, connect the stacking cable, power up the unit.  Do connect the replacement unit to the stacking cable while powered.
