Hi there !

If I want to stack some 3750 switches, do they need to be exactly identical
in port number and speed or can I stack any 3750 models?

TIA

You can stack any 3750 they say.

You do need to have them all on the same software release.

You can stack any H/W model 3750 that you desire (we have done several
different model mixes in a stack), HOWEVER note that the entre stack
should be running the EXACT same IOS. We have managed to get 2
different revision levels of the same IOS running in a stack, but I
dont recommend it as "upgrading" them to the same revision required
quite some playing around.

Cheers..................pk.
