[RICHA PRIYA]

Hello Everyone,

Need to confirm if we require any license or our switch is capable for SVL configuration. 

Model- Cisco C9407R

We have below license on the switch. Please let me know it is ok or not for SVL config.

Cisco Stack Wise Virtual is supported on CiscoCatalyst9400 SeriesSupervisor1 Module(C9400-SUP-1) and Cisco Catalyst9400 SeriesSupervisor1XL Module(C9400-SUP-1XL).

The feature requires a special, additional license,C9400-SUP-UPG-LIC=license with CiscoCatalyst9400 SeriesSupervisor1 Module(C9400-SUP-1).

As per my show inventory we are using C9400-SUP-1 so do we need to get C9400-SUP-UPG-LIC= lic ?

yes if you have that sup card - that what mentioned other URL i have posted , also check the version of code you running any caveats of that version.

Catalyst 9400 can be deployed with all types of supervisor modules but SUP-1 module requires an additional License for StackWise virtual configuration. The in-chassis standby Supervisors if available will be powered-off by the system
