[c-nsp] Cisco WS2960-X - Are these switches lemons or is there a stable release?

[Ian Hiddleston]

Thanks Mike,

I've thrown it at TAC, just not holding much hope. They haven't showered themselves in glory on previous occasions...

For the record I've had similar problems running 15.0.2a-E5 and older versions, can't remember EX4 specifically so will try that. Have also tried 15.2.3E1. I can usually get a crash out of them in a day if I try :)

I have a stack of 2 WS-C2960X-48FPD-L and they've been pretty solid.
We're on c2960x-universalk9-mz.150-2.EX4.bin.

Have you opened a TAC case about your issue?  That definitely doesn't
sound like a healthy switch.

Does anyone know if there is a stable software image for them that doesn’t crash when you SSH to it or drop the stack module offline and split brain for fun?
