Configuración stacking X3750X

Before stacking:

Make sure you have they same exact IOS in both switches.

Make sure you have the same license for each switch

Make sure to prevision each switch

Make sure you give your stack master a priority between 1 and 15 with 15
being the highest

Problem
You can stack Cisco 3750-X Switches in groups of up to 9 switches, and they can
then be managed as one switch. Here I’ve got 2 switches.

Solution
Removing 3750-X Switches Stack Configuration
One of my switches had already been in a stack, so I needed to remove its stack
configuration. It thought it was switch 4 in the stack so I issued the following
commands;
Switch(config)# no switch 4 provision
Switch(config)# wr mem

Cisco 3750-X Configure Stacking

Don’t connect any stacking cables yet, decide which switch is going to the the
‘master’ and log onto that switch, and issue the following commands;
Switch#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#switch 1 priority 15
Changing the Switch Priority of Switch Number 1 to 15
Do you want to continue?[confirm] {Enter}
New Priority has been set successfully
Switch(config)#do write mem
Building configuration...
[OK]
Switch(config)#do reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm] {Enter}

When the switch reloads you will see.

Waiting for Stack Master Election...

SM: Waiting for other switches in stack to boot...

###############################################################

At this point you can connect the stack cables and power on the second switch.
With multiple switches connect each stack port one, to the switch below’s stack
port two. Then on the last switch connect its stack port one back to stack port
two on the top switch, (so there is a ‘ring’.)

If you have more than two switches you can set their priority (as you did above)
priority 15 will always win the ‘elections’ and be the master switch, number the rest
accordingly. The default is ‘1’ so if you don’t then it works out the order based on
MAC addresses, (which is not good!).
When all the switches are booted, check all is well;

If you are also using XPS redundant power cables remember that’s only supported
for up to four switches, (without an extra XPS-2200 rack power unit). I power off
the switches before I fit these.
Why do they have green and yellow ends: If you look on the switch you will see
the ‘socket’ is marked with a yellow and a green ‘semi-circle’. that means a green
end or a yellow end can be plugged into that socket.
That makes no sense, so anything can plug into anything, why colour code
them? That’s because there is a different cable that has a ‘red’ end on it for
plugging into an XPS-2200 rack power supply, like this;

Then to test your XPS Power  Cables.

Stack Power Profiles (Setting Up)

Stack Power Modes
Default (Power sharing Mode): All the power from all the power supplies, is
aggregated together, and no power is reserved – if a power supply failed there is a
chance that there might not be enough power.
Redundant Mode: The power supplied by the largest power supply in the stack, is
taken away from the total power output in case there is an outage.
Stand Alone Mode: Stops a switch participating in a power stack completely.
Each mode can be configured to run strict, or non-strict, (with the exception of a
stand alone mode).
Strict: If actual power drops below budgeted power, things may get powered
down.
Non Strict: Actual power can run above budgeted power, if that extra power is
available.
