Cat9400 Redundant Supervisor License Requirement ?

[sld]

What Network License version do I need - Essentials or Advantage - To support dual / redundant supervisors on Cat9400 platform ?

I know Advantage is required to support StackWise Virtual, but was unsure what is needed to support a "vanilla" dual supervisor Cat9410R deployment ?

Many TIA..

You need same license for both Primary and Seconday( NEtwork Advantage is prefered )

Understood that the Cat9400 SUP licenses need to be the same / identical, but is Advantage required or preferred ?

Will Essentials provide the fundamental Sup redundancy and functionality ?

And I do understand features like StackWise Virtual do require Advantage..

Many TIA..

Hi,

Have a look at table-9 in this link.

With Essential license, you can do most everything except advanced features like, BGP, VRF, Mulicast, etc..

Doing simple SSO with Sup redundancy does not require advanced license.
