Hello,
Can someone tell me if I can build a stack with two 3850 SW running on IP Base feature but have different physical port configuration?
On Cisco guide the only conditions are regarding same IOS and licensing but doesn't have other requirements regarding physical differences on port number or media used. (just want to be sure)
- WS-C3850-24T-L
- WS-C3850-24S-S
or
- WS-C3850-24XS-S

Hello,
Yes it seems that the only requirements are same IOS and licensing:

Regarding the hardware it only affects the number of the switches in the stack (from 9 to 8) depending on the models included.
Cheers,

Hello
Thank you for your response and the detailed information.
Yes, I did saw many documentation not excluding this scenario but I have to be sure before making the order for this 2 Sw. Does anyone tried this on real equipment on production?
Thanks
