Wher to configure Stackwise-Virtual on catalyst 9606R supervisor Engineer or Line Card

[Bazoka]

I am going to replace an order for two switches 9606R with two supervisor engines, Signal 40 GE line cards, and a single 10 GE line card for each switch and I am planning to configure StackWise virtual between them.

The question which ports I have to use for SVL and DAD? on the supervisor engines to the line cards?

If on the supervisor engines i have two on each switch, which SUP i have to configure?

SVL always on SUP cards, DAD can be on Line Cards.(check the priority Line cards)

10G and 40GB both supported.

example ( quad one still valid)

On the SUP I can see a single mgt port 10 GE SFP+

So on each SUP, I have to use a single link?

Ahmed,

You cannot use the management port for regular data traffic or for SVL. These ports are just for Out of Band management purposes:

DAD and SVL must be on interfaces on the line cards in a 9606. Please reference the StackWise Virtual chapter of the configuration guide:
