Hi there,
I am new in this area and wanted to know i am not missing anything before I go forward with this upgrade.
We have a 2 stacks of 3750X ether-channeled togther and sharing VLANS across. Now we have a requirement of adding one new 3750X switch on each stack and add some new VLANs to it. Moreover, some ports from this new units would connect to a new iSCSI network device and few ESX servers.
So what i understand, from each of these devices there would be dual links connections, one to each stack (for load balancing and redundancy).
I wanted to confirm what all things I should follow to make this happen:
1. check on ios and license-set on the stack and the new switches. show version shall tell me about the ios but how do we confirm what licenses/feature set a stack has?
2. How to add the new unit to the stack, whats the best practise? is there any doc for that?
3. How abt the dual connection to the devices? i am afriad it should not invite STP to kick in and defeat the load balancing object. is there anything like split etherchannel?
Thanks in advance!
