C9500 VSS CONFIGURATION Dual Active configuration DAD Link detectionss

[Rajesh kumar]

Hi

I have to Do VSS in   C9500-24Y4C-A  Two switches .Can I use 2 no's of QSFP-H40G-AOC1M= for VSS and 2 nos of SFP-H10GB-CU3M=  as DAD Cable.

Can I directly put SFP-H10GB-CU3M= in C9500-24Y4C-A Switch ports?

DAC Cable is copper cable and C9500-24Y4C-A is fiber switch. Can I use DAC cable for Dual-Active detection Link

Hello @rajesh kumar,

Using 10G SFP+ modules and fiber optic cables for both VSL and DAD links is the recommended approach for creating a reliable VSS configuration on your Cisco Catalyst 9500 switches.

@rajesh kumar,

DAC cables are copper cables and are not typically used for DAD links between switches. DAD links are usually fiber connections designed for fast and reliable detection of failures between the VSS member switches.

Hi,

For DAD, you can use any cable you want (fiber, copper, DAC).
