| Jan 21, 2021 at 18:05 | comment | added | Martin Ledermann | I agree with you wholeheartedly and wish that would eventually happen, but I've been working for this company for a few years now and I realize that I'm only a mere engineer, my opinion doesn't matter and the managerial staff will never do anything about it. | |

| Jan 21, 2021 at 18:03 | comment | added | Martin Ledermann | The reason I've asked and phrased my question in the manner in which I did is because I've heard from my more experienced colleagues that this is supposedly possible - however I have unfortunately never seen it done in practice, that's why I'm hoping that perhaps someone from this community has already had a chance to try such a scenario out. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 18:01 | comment | added | Martin Ledermann | Well, in that case kudos to your company for having such a system. Mine does not and the external company which provides us with onsite technician and hardware delivery isn't contractually obliged to provide the expected IOS version. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 18:00 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | I did not post an answer, I posted a comment, and it is a correct comment. You must make sure the version match before connecting a switch to a stack. That is really all there is to it. We do remote installations all over the world, and we have set up a system where the switch gets the correct versions before it gets shipped to the site. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 17:56 | comment | added | Martin Ledermann | That is not an answer to the y/n question which was asked. I'm talking about a real-life scenario, where you don't have physical access to the switch and as a remote engineer you're dependent on an onsite technician with whom you communicate over extremely unreliable mobile network connection while he's sharing his laptop screen with you and he has no USB drive with him nor any IOS image on his computer or access to Cisco portal to download it and the end customer gives you both up to 30 minutes to replace a faulty stack member... | |
