Hey guys,
So I'm looking to buy a 5th 3750G switch for the lab (once you go 3750G the 3550's are sooo slow), but all of my switches at home are WS-C3750G-24T-S (IPB), and I want to purchase a WS-C3750G-24S-E (IPS) with a EMI image; Can I copy the flash from the E and copy it to all of the S switches?
to me, the different 3750G's are just different cause of the flash flavors, but wasn't sure if I could just TFTP the flash to my laptop and then move it to the others and have it work the same. :

yup, the physical software, the IOS, just want move the EMI image from the TS-E to the TS-S switches. I think the 'S' just stands for SMI and the 'E' stands for EMI image(s)
