Looks like the packages.conf file is still based out of 16.3.8 (Assuming the more packages.conf output is from the switch under consideration) For your query whether reboot will make the switch come up with 16.3.3 and the answer is NO. Before rebooting the switch and ensuring it comes up with the correct version you need to verify two things in the show boot output it should point to Something like this 3850-SWITCH#sh boot --------------------------- Switch 1 --------------------------- Current Boot Variables: BOOT variable = Boot Variables on next reload: BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf; Allow Dev Key = yes Manual Boot = no Enable Break = no 3850-SWITCH# and when you more packages.conf it should show files for 16.3.3 (target version) In your output it iso rp 0 0 rp_base cat3k_caa-rpbase.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 rp_core cat3k_caa-rpcore.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 rp_daemons cat3k_caa-rpcore.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 rp_iosd cat3k_caa-rpcore.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 rp_wcm cat3k_caa-wcm.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 rp_webui cat3k_caa-webui.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 srdriver cat3k_caa-srdriver.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 rp_security cat3k_caa-rpcore.16.03.08.SPA.pkg iso rp 0 0 guestshell cat3k_caa-guestshell.16.03.08.SPA.pkg ...

I would not do VRRP with this network. The reason being : Extending the layer-2 fault domain by creating trunks over which an external overhead of VRRP would make things complicated. We usually use FHRP - HSRP, VRRP, GLBP in case of creating a first hop gateway for servers.I do not have details of various applications and expected flows but the least you can easily create a floating static route on your core switch and achieve redundancy ...
