    Migration to Install Mode from the Bootloader Prompt The Cisco IOS XE Software image for the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch is distributed as a bundle image. You cannot copy this bundle directly to the flash and then boot the switch. You must install the Cisco IOS XE Software bundle into the flash and then boot the switch from the installed software using the install mode.

    AP Count Licenses Remaining: 10 Image-Based License in a Stack In a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch stack, all switches must be at the same image-based license (IP Services/IP Base/LAN Base) level. The active switch license level is considered the reference, and the member switch licenses are compared to it.

  • Page 19: Ap-Count License In A Stack

    Catalyst 3850 Switch is configured only as an mobility agent, which is the default configuration. The total AP-Count license of a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch stack is equal to the sum of all the individual member AP-Count licenses, up to a maximum of 50 AP-Counts. The total AP-Count license of the stack is affected when stack members are added or removed: ●...
  • Page 20 AP Count Licenses Remaining: 50 By default the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch stack is configured as a mobility agent. In the wireless licensing model, a mobility agent is the access point count enforcement point. A mobility controller is the access point count management point.

  • Page 21: License Migration Between Switches

    Licensing Protocol Call Flow In a large deployment, a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch stack is the mobility agent, and a 5760 wireless controller is the mobility controller. In a split mobility agent-mobility controller deployment, the AP-Count is managed at the mobility controller level.

    Cisco made significant changes to the StackWise Plus hardware and software architecture for the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch. The new Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch is built upon high-speed next- generation Cisco application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology and combined with the feature-rich and powerful Cisco IOS XE Software operating system.
  • Page 27 Figure 5. Cisco Catalyst 3850 StackWise-480 Switch Stack Rear View The system architecture of the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch is designed to evolve as a solution engine that enables converged access infrastructure and rich integrated technologies with unparalleled application performance. This new Cisco switch delivers the simplified system operation tools that network administrators need to manage increasingly complex and feature-rich networks.

  • Page 28: Plug-And-Play Stack Deployment

    Stack architecture allows network expansion when additional ports are required in the wiring closet. The hardware and software architecture of the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch allows you to insert new Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switches in a stack ring without major network disruption. The system and management operation, network configuration, and topologies remain transparent to the network, providing nonstop business communication during the upgrade.
  • Page 29 To enable stateful switchover (SSO) resiliency in Cisco StackWise-480 mode, you must configure each switch with the same Cisco IOS XE Software version and license. Figure 7 illustrates system roles and operation of Cisco StackWise-480 when you add Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switches to a stack.
  • Page 30 Ready The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switches support a wide range of Layer 2, Layer 3, and wireless stateful capabilities to provide nonstop network communication. In real time, the Cisco IOS XE Software running on the active switch synchronizes its protocol state machines, software forwarding tables, and system configuration to the Cisco IOS XE Software instance running on the standby switch.
