Hi,

I have a question for the group.

My new boss is convinced that stacking the 3750s in the closet is the way to
go where as I feel slaving them off the main closet switch is better.
I'm flushed with IP addresses so, single management IP address is not
appealing to me. If I need to span more than 2 ports, slaved scenario works
better.
I can upgrade the IOS and reboot one switch at a time.

I've heard nightmare stories about stacked 3750s in a hung state and not
passing traffic.

Pros about stacking is you can daisy chain them, back of the 3750s, using
the provide cables. Single management IP for the stack.

What is everyone else doing and what works for you?
