C9500 stackwise and hsrp

[nikcasiraghi]

Hi,

i got 2 brand new Cisco C9500-48Y4C, sw level 17.3.4 with essential license.

Question 1 : is it true that I need advantage license to use them in stackwise ?

Question 2 : I tried to set them as separate devices but I cannot define HSRP or VRRP to overcome the problem in question 1

Is it true that this model / sw is not supporting layer3 redundancy protocols like HSRP or VRRP ?

Thanks for your support.

Nicola.

Hi, 

See table-16 in this link.

You need "Network Advantage" license for both "StackWise Virtual and HSRP".

Thank you both Reza and Paul,

very helpful information.

I've found out that VRRPv3 is supported so i set the 2 C9500 in standalone (no stackwise) with VRRP redundancy.

VRRP setup is described in the documentation at this link (for Ios 16.6 but valid also for the 17.3.4 I have)  :

VRRPv3

Is it true that this model / sw is not supporting layer3 redundancy protocols like HSRP or VRRP ? - HSRP is supported an  advantage license is required
