How many switches can be in a Cisco stack?

Cisco StackWise technology unites up to nine switches. The master switch manages each of these devices. Any member within the stacked unit can be the master switch. StackWise links Cisco Catalyst 3750 series switches into stacked units that are more easily deployed and managed.

How many switches can be connected in stack?

A switch stack is a set of up to nine Catalyst 3750 switches connected through their StackWise ports. One of the switches controls the operation of the stack and is called the stack master. The stack master and the other switches in the stack are stack members.

How many switches can be stacked in Cisco 9300?

A switch stack can have up to eight stacking-capable switches connected through their StackWise-480 ports. Only homogenous stacking is supported, that is, a stack of Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches with only Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches as stack members.

How many switches can be stacked Cisco 9200?

You cannot have a switch stack containing a mix of different license levels. Do not stack Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series Switches with Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches. A switch stack can have up to eight stacking-capable switches connected through their StackWise ports.

How many switches can be stacked in Cisco 9500?

9500 can only be stacked (stack virtual) by another 9500. 9300 can only be stacked with another 9300.

Cisco Tech Talk: What is Switch Stacking

Can you stack 24 and 48 port switches?

Yes you can do that. Stacking a 24 port 3750x and a 48 port 3750x works fine but you need to make sure they run the same IOS. You also need to consider what switch is going to be the Master in the stack and how the uplink (s) will work.

How many 2960 switches can be stacked?

With FlexStack-Extended fiber Modules, the Individual Cisco Catalyst 2960-X or 2960-XR Series Switches can connect even when placed on different floors or in different buildings. Up to eight switches can be stacked together through Fiber module.

How many 3750 switches can be stacked?

Cisco StackWise technology unites up to nine switches. The master switch manages each of these devices. Any member within the stacked unit can be the master switch. StackWise links Cisco Catalyst 3750 series switches into stacked units that are more easily deployed and managed.

Can Cisco 9500 be stacked?

Catalyst 9500 supports StackWise virtual technology so that they don't need stack module or stack cable. Just connect between Catalyst 9500 switches will get the stacking function.

Can you stack different 9300 switches?

The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series is made up of seven different switch models. Any of the models can be used together in a stack of up to eight units.

Which Cisco switches can be stacked?

Can I stack C9300 and C9300L?

You cannot stack fixed uplink models (C9300L SKUs) with modular uplink models (C9300 SKUs) or other Catalyst switches, e.g. Cisco Catalyst 3850 and 3650 Series.

Can Cisco 9200 be stacked with 9300?

This is what can be stacked together for the 9200 and 9300 families: 9300 / 9300X stacks with 9300 / 9300X. 9300L stacks with 9300L. 9200 stacks with 9200.

Can you stack 2 different model Cisco switches?

They can be stacked as long as all members are running the same IOS version (and license). Switches with different major Cisco IOS software versions usually have different stack protocol versions. Switches with different major version numbers are incompatible and cannot exist in the same switch stack.

What is the maximum number of switches in a single power stack ring?

A switch power stack can include a maximum of four switches in a ring topology and eight switches in a star topology with the XPS 2200.

Can two different switches be stacked?

You can only take stackable switches of the same model from one vendor to stack them. But in terms of cascading, switches from different vendors can be cascaded, while a cluster must consist of switches from the same vendor. Stacking always has a limitation on the number of switches in a stack group.

What is the longest Cisco stacking cable?

Yes, 3m is the maximum length available.

What is the difference between VPC and stacking in Cisco?

VPC is configuring a single device so that it appears as multiple virtual devices - Used in DCs etc in you Nexus platforms. Stackwise is for physically cabling multiple switches together into a single switch stack.

How many 3650 switches can be stacked?

A switch stack of 3650/3850s (note you can't mix these in a stack) can have up to nine stacking-capable switches connected through their stackwise ports.

How many 3850 switches can be stacked?

Up to 9 Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches can be stacked together to build single logical StackWise-480 switch since Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3. 0SE. Prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3. 0SE, up to 4 Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches could be stacked together.

Is Cisco 3850 stackable?

It should be possible to stack both switches without problems ( WS-C3850-48P-S ) with ( WS-C3850-48F-S ). Just make sure that stacking cables are properly connected and you should be good to go. Kind Regards! I have a 4 stack of 3850's without the cable running from Switch 1 Port 2 to Switch 4 Port 1.

Is 2960 a layer 2 or 3 switch?

The Cisco Catalyst 2950, Cisco 2960 series are typical examples of Layer 2 switches. The Cisco Catalyst 3550, 3560, 3750, 4500, 6500 series would be good examples of Layer 3 switches.

How many switches can be cascaded?

For no more than three Ethernet switches, a linear topology of daisy chaining is okay since there is no loop. However, it owns drawbacks in switch failure due to lacking redundancy.

Is 2960 a Layer 2 switch?

The Catalyst 2960 is a layer 2 switch only and it does not support L3 routing. If you need a L3 switch you may want to look at the 3560 switch instead.
