Hi, Please check the information related to StackWise support on Cisco Catalyst 9400 for SDA Edge and Border. It is supported with the start of Cisco DNA Center 1.3.3.x. The latest version 1.3.3.6 is updated on July 16, 2020.

• Customers can now use Cisco DNA Center to manage the StackWise Virtual device, along with monitoring the health and status of StackWise Virtual ports and links.
• SVL support has been added on edge and border nodes. Base automation will discover manually configured SVL devices. The user can configure fabric roles such as edge/border or border + edge (B+E).
• Base automation (inventory, discovery, SWIM, topology, template programmer) and assurance support for Cisco Catalyst 9500 and 9400 Series StackWise Virtual switches.

That' is great info!

So, if you use not as FIAB or B+C then we can do SVL ,right?

In current case we will need additional Control node, if we want to deploy 9400 as SVL in SDA.

Hi mnagired,

what confused me in above mentioned link:

SVL support has been added on edge and border nodes. Base automation will discover manually configured SVL devices. The user can configure fabric roles such as edge/border or border + edge (B+E).

So, by word, if we do manual SVL and give B or E or B&E role to node, it should work, shouldn't it?
