C9606 Stack Wise Virutal

[a50573329]

Please let me know the process for configuring StackWise Virtual between two C9606R chassis, each with a C9600X-SUP-2 supervisor.

I read in Cisco documents that the C9600X-SUP-2 supervisor does not support StackWise Virtual technology. What is the best setup if I have two chassis with this supervisor?

Hello @a50573329 

The best approach depends on your network topology and requirements.

Do you have a diagram of your topology ?

[a50573329]

I don’t have a diagram. The current enterprise site has two core C6509 switches and eight distribution switches (C4507). All of this hardware will be replaced.

The new core will consist of two C9606 switches with the mentioned supervisor.

All distribution switches will be replaced with C9500-24Y.

In the data center, the distribution switch (N9K) will be terminated to the DC firewall, and the DC firewall will be terminated to the main core.

What is the best setup? Also, is it true that the C9600X-SUP-2 supervisor does not support StackWise Virtual technology?

Is this SD-access or traditional Campus Lan deployment?

Is this Quad Supervisors SVL deployment?
