Stacking Aruba-2930F 48G 4SFP

[Greg_Weaver]

OP: @Meeee 

First off I am a complete novice with switches...

I am looking at stacking a couple of 2930-F's using a DAC cable so  

Switch 1 I have done  -

(config)# vsf member 1 link 1 52

(config)# vsf enable domain 1

Switch 2 I have done  -

(config)# vsf member 2 link 1 52

(config)#  vsf enable domain 1

when I run Show VSF it says it is active.

So I preume so far so good?

I also have a spare cable so for redundancy I was thinking about using it on port  51 on each switch so using the below -

Switch 1 I have done  -

(config)# vsf member 1 link 2 51

(config)# vsf enable domain 1

Switch 2 I have done  -

(config)# vsf member 2 link 2 51

(config)#  vsf enable domain 1

would this add extra redundancy just in case the first cable was pulled out?

Yes it does...since this is a two members VSF...why creating a second VSF Link per Switch (vsf link 2) to add VSF Link redundancy for existing VSF Link (vsf link 1)?

If I were you I will add port 51 (of both ends) to existing VSF Link made of only port 52, this way:

vsf member 1 link 1 1/51

vsf member 2 link 1 2/51 (since you're adding port 51 of 2nd VSF Member on its VSF Link 1)

Then validate VSF Link status with:

show vsf link detail

Isn't reasonable?
