Stackwise Technology on Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series


Can Catalyst 3850 with 48 ports 10G (WS-C3850-48XS-F-E) support Stackwise and Stackpower technologies?

This link shows that it’s possible to perform VSS with the release 16.3.3 between 02x3850 with Stackwise Virtual features.

Stackwise Virtual, yes.  Stackpower, no.

The catalyst 3850 takes another big step forward as a fixed distribution platform, combining functional richness, programmability and performance. We can since the recent 16.3.3 create a "VSS" between 2 x 3850, thanks to the functionality stackwise virtual . This is the 48-port 10GE SFP + / 4-port 40GE QSFP (3850-48XS) model  that now supports this feature, but other models / architectures will follow.
