C9500 Stackwise Virtual with Fiber Patch Cord

[Jayjovial]

Hi,

I am planning to do stackwise virtual on C9500 but I can't use dac cable. Do stackwise virtual on C9500 use with fiber patch cord?. (I have to do this because location for 2 switches are in different building (400 m.))

Any suggestion or redirects to helpful documentation I would appreciate, thank you!

check below guide.

it explains the stackvise virtual operation and configuration. you can use fiber port supported for virtual stacking in selected model. use compatible fiber cables and SFPs supported for 400m or above.

If it is more than  400M, Try to use Single mode OS2 Fibre with 10G-LRM SFP for this need. Make sure you also need same for DAD Link.
