You responded to a very old discussion. You may open a new thread, mentioning in which mode you want to configure the AP (Controller, Instant, AOS10, tunneled, bridged, mixed), as what/how to configure differs.
If you just configure two switch ports the same, the AP should do active-passive as mentioned above and there is not so much to configure. For more advanced go to LACP configuration on the switch, but for just redundancy, just connect and use the active-passive.
The Validated Solution Guides may give you even better guidance.

Is there a link or a configuration that someone can share of a working config with a dual homed 535 to a Cisco switch? Or maybe a stack of two Cisco switches? The first port on the 535 to switch one or blade one of a chassis, and the second port on the 535 to switch two or blade two of a chassis? I cannot seem to find anything in any manual anywhere. We just want to do this for redundancy since if patched to a single switch and it goes down, we have an outage. We have two Cat6a cables to every AP at the ceiling, so all we have to do is start patching and configuring switch ports...

Yeh we ended up using Trunk Configuration in the end so Ports 1/2, 3/4 etc. were trunked and we just connected them up that seemed to have worked

Bumping up an old thread but, we experienced same issue today. model 555 dual connected to cisco switch both ports are setup as access ports instead of trunk with bpdu guard enabled. Sometimes the secondary port will err-disable but, today it didn't and it took down the entire vlan the aps are on with a loop. Does anyone have a work around for this? Just not plug in both ports?

Just came across this thread we having same issue too
Is this where we need to change the configuration for the AP Change LACP to Active Mode right and thats all?
Got AP515 connected a cable via both ether ports and was getting loops

Hi,
You need to use active LACP on the link aggregation for the AP. This will make the AP detect the LACP packets during startup and form a link aggregation as well.
If no LACP packets are seen from the switch the AP will use both ports in an active-standby mode. If this is not the case, I would consider it a bug.

Yusuke,
Thank you for posting your experience. We have several AP515's in a customer's production environment that created a loop as well. Even though the Aruba2930F switch has loop protect enabled, and there is no mention of a loop in the switch logs either. We have tried unsuccessfully to recreate the same conditions in a lab.

Hi,
maybe too late for your question but we have a same situation, and here's how to rid of storm nightmare when install AP in prod network:
1. configure switch port for AP535-eth0 and AP535-eth1
2. disabling the port which connected to AP535-eth1
3. install AP535 physically
4. configuring MC(MD) for new AP
5. make sure AP is installed correctly in MC(MD)
5. enabling the port which connected to AP535-eth1
by the way our aruba rep/SE says there are no layer2 loop issue found AP535 in Dev environment they confirmed, but actually it always happen in our environment. I wonder someone has same circumstances and best practice for this. the list I wrote above is just a workaround method I'm sure.

Hello folks,
What would be the best practices for connecting AP with both ports in term of a switch config without leveraging LACP?
I observe a layer2 loop every single time AP is connected to the network with both ports. The loop goes away as soon as AP found MC.
Thank you
