Hi Minhaj if would be great if you upload a complete stacking configuration video.

Thanks.

Hi...Is it possible to do VSS in Cat 9500.Using fiber connecting between 2 switches.Because 2 switches are installed in different racks and distance would be 2Km for disaster recovery

:) on marketing perspective I cannot see Stacewise-480 to StackWise virtual is an upgrade, StackWise 480 provided 480G bandwidth, how many SFPs need to use on 9500 to provide the same amount of bandwidth? :) if you talk about using ethernet instead of special stack cable, that is VSS and that exists for many years. :) :)

On the whole wide web, I can't find any instructions or a "how to" to upgrade the Firmware on a VSL Stack. Can please anyone provide a how to?

Does SFP-H10GB-CU1M DAC cable work for SVL and DAD links

For an IT professional looking for assistance with stacking Cisco 9500 switches this video is absolutely useless. Yet it is the top search result. Thanks for nothing.

Way behind Brocade / Ruckus in this respect

In my estimation, this is no different than VSS on the 4500/6500/6800 series switches that has been around for a while now.

Not really a "How-To" at all, just marketing fluff.

This is a What-is video, not a How-to video.

What the eff was this video about? Came to see HOW my 2 cisco 9500 can be stacked together... but had to waste 3m25s listening to this marketing BS.

there is literally no "How-to" in this video...just describing the technology...absolutely 0 help...
