Hi all,
I'm new on this forum and handling HP switches, please bear with me :)
Ok, I have a task to have Switch redundancy and we have this 2 HP 2920-48G Switch (J9728A). I've search on how to have a redundancy for this switches and most of it are recommending to use stacking module to make it one logical switch. The problem is, I can't get approval yet on a budget for buying the stacking module so I want to have another solution for redundancy without this stacking module.
This is the setup I made:

And this is the redundancy I want to achieve:

I want to setup the switch as Active/Passive also so that if Switch 1 down, I still have Switch 2 and eth1 will be active NIC for servers.
My questions are:
1. Can I do redundancy for this switch without stacking module? If yes, any idea how can I do that?
2. Is STP is possible solution for this?
Any suggestion would greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advanced!
