Hello,
I had thought of that for the current switches. That is the main way I would know to do that.
The configuration he was refering to was using older Procurve switches. I don't think those would have been capable of VSX. Are there any older protocols/configurations that he might have been referring to?
Thanks!

I believe you are referring to VSX

Take a look at section starting from page 25 for sample configs

Hello,
We are putting several new 8360 switches in our datacenter. My boss was recalling being able to configure switches such that both switches would be connected to the core switch and to each other. This way the switches both have a redundant link with each other. If the uplink port for one switch went down, then the traffic could travel from to the other switch and then to the core. This is a physical loop, but it could be logically programed so that a loop would not occur.
Is this possible? If so, what is the command that would be used for this?
Thanks!
