Why each option
Cisco StackWise technology is a proprietary switch stacking solution that utilizes specialized, high-bandwidth cables to interconnect and logically combine multiple switches.
Cisco StackWise technology uses proprietary, high-speed stacking cables and connectors to interconnect multiple physical switches, creating a single logical switch that simplifies management and increases bandwidth.
StackWise is designed for local stacking within a single physical location, typically within a rack or wiring closet, due to the limited length of its proprietary cables, and does not support geographically separated devices.
Cisco StackWise technology can combine more than two devices; for instance, many StackWise versions support stacking up to eight or nine switches into a single logical unit.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switches utilize Virtual Switching System (VSS) for chassis virtualization, not StackWise. StackWise is typically found on fixed-configuration access layer switches like the Catalyst 3650, 3750, or 9300 series.
