Stacking Aruba-2930F 48G 4SFP
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?
