Catalyst 3750-X, 6500 and 6800 replacement checks

Match replacement parts to the installed platform and plan a tested rollback path.

Information to collect

Match replacement parts to the installed platform and plan a tested rollback path.

Provide the current host PID, software version, required interfaces and installation constraints before choosing replacements.

Selection checks

  • Catalyst 3750-X, 6500 and 6800 inventory is intended for evaluation against an existing deployment, with lifecycle and support considered separately.
  • Supervisor 2T, Supervisor 6T and XL variants have specific chassis and forwarding-card relationships. WS-X6816 uses X2 interfaces rather than SFP+ cages.
  • WS-C6807-XL and C68007-XL-S6T-BUN require nameplate reconciliation before treating them as a documented base PID or bundle. The supplied inventory identifiers are retained.

Before deployment

  • Compare both nameplates and the running inventory output.
  • Validate module recognition and required features on the target software.
  • Document cutover, rollback and software-support limitations.

Preparing a quotation request

Include the exact part numbers, quantities, required condition, included accessories and software entitlements. Identify the target equipment and any unresolved interface or configuration item. A product association is not a validated combination.
