Multi WAN Uplink For Stacked 2930M switches

  • 1.  Multi WAN Uplink For Stacked 2930M switches

    Good Day HPE Community. 

    I come here today seeking guidance on this vast range of options and services. 

    We recently aquired two 2930M switcthes with Stacking modules installed and configures, I was able to confirm stacking is active as well as set Priorities on the Two Switches to Identify Commander and Standby. 

    From there i access the Setup menu within the Stack, assigned a static IP and gateway for testing, this was working well. 
    We ended up Resetting the Gateways and Static IP to be DHCP and provided an IP from the Router. This shows again functionality. 

    But the true goal is to have 2 Uplink connections, 1 for Commander and 1 for Standby thus creating a Reduntant uplink should one fail the other would assist with breakout to the World. 

    However im not too sure how to achieve this as there isnt really a Forum, Site or manual for the Skills used to configure these switches. Being new in the Layer3 implementations i am a little lost as to how to achieve this goal. 

    Attached is an image of the end goal and that we want to achieve. If there is any Guides that i can read or Communities that can assist with this it would truly be appreciated. 

    Please ask me any questions that might assist with the above question, ill provide as much information as i possibly could in regards to this.

    That is probably something you would do on your firewalls, or SD-WAN appliances if you have those.

    Switches, in general, are not the best choice for WAN/internet redundancy.
