How do I fix version mismatch on Cisco stack?
How do I fix version mismatch on Cisco stack?
There are different ways to upgrade the new switch to the correct software image. The hard way is unplugging the new switch from the stack, upgrade the switch separately and add the switch to the stack again. A more easy way is using the archive copy-sw command.

Is 2960X end-of-life?
Five to seven years from today, the 2960X will be end of sale & end of support. Obviously, it will keep on working past its end of support date, but that means no security vulnerability coverage, which really makes risk and compliance itchy.
Is there a version mismatch in stack manager?
As soon as it is upgraded to 15.2 or above, stack manager shows 7.XX, and any attempts to stack with another switch show a version mismatch. (Another switch with identical software version shows major version 1, minor version 56 or above. The major versions never match because this one is listed as 7.)
Can a 2960x be joined to a 2960s stack?
The only to join 2960X to the 2960S stack is to find a common IOS version supported by both models which are 15.0 (2)EX and 15.2 (2)E trains. You will need to upgrade all of them but before you do so, you must read the Release Notes. This is very important because the IOS code for 2960X is extremely buggy in some cases.
Is the catalyst 2960-x switch stack manager supported?
Stacking is not supported on switches running the LAN Lite image. All switches in the stack must be running the LAN Base image. In a mixed stack of Catalyst 2960-X and Catalyst 2960-S switches, the number of supported stack members is reduced from eight to four.
Is the 2960x compatible with iOS version 15.0?
It won’t work. 2960X will NOT (and NEVER) support IOS version 15.0 (2)SE, including 15.0 (2)SE5 which the 2960S is currently running. The only to join 2960X to the 2960S stack is to find a common IOS version supported by both models which are 15.0 (2)EX and 15.2 (2)E trains.
