Can you inter-change iOS flash on different models?

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.

If you mean can you copy the IOS...you should be able to. The actual Flash memory on switches (at least the pre-G models) is fixed to the board and cannot be removed or replaced.

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)
