C9500-16X vss and stackwise?

[baselzind]

I need to configure my 2 C9500-16X with vss but i noticed the commands for vss arent there , does stackwise replaces vss in my switch model?

VSS is Stackwise.  Marketing and Sales gave VSS a new "name" but Stackwise is no different to VSS.

As already noted by Leo, StackWise would be the "VSS" equivalent on a 9500, although, if I understand the datasheets, it's StackWise Virtual that would be most like VSS.

Without more research, though, cannot say whether StackWise, when using multi-chassis Etherchannel, works like non-virtual StackWise or like VSS when directing traffic out the Etherchannel links.
