Simulation Software for Cisco Catalyst C9400

[HakimMusthaza]

Hi All, I want to simulate the HA of C9400 using StackWise Virtual but I cant seem to find any software that I can use. I have GNS3 and CML. So the question, is C9400 can be simulated or not?

@HakimMusthaza hi, unfortunately this is available in CML yet. CML have 9000V. GNS3 i am not sure.

I'm sure, above is a simple typo, and what was meant was:  "hi, unfortunately this isn't available in CML yet. CML have 9000V. GNS3 i am not sure."

no C9400 in CML; switching is hard to simulate 'cause of ASICs is hardware; whatever u have in CML, like 9000 image is also a beta or experimental image. 

Check DevNet sandbox , online rental , to see what can u do in case of StackWise Virtual

BTW, just curious, purpose of this simulation need for HA?

Reason I ask, as StackWise Virtual appears, on a network, as a single device, it can be "simulated", for HA, using a single device.

Why do you want to simulate the Chassis? No simulator provides this functionality so far. What is the use case here?

Best if you want to test, you can use dcloud to check which instance you can test.

CML 2.9.1 have Cat9K but limited Features; they are not ready to test even SVL here. (so my best is dcloud)
