Recommended setup of a VSF link

    Hi, I'm a little confused about the optimal configuration for my particular case.
    I have two Aruba 2930F and suppose I want to make a VSF between them with two physical ports for redundancy. Currently I have it configured like this:

     

    vsf
       enable domain 9000
       member 1
          type "JL259A" mac-address 9cdc71-37da40
          priority 255
          link 1 1/23
          link 1 name "I-Link1_1"
          link 2 1/24
          link 2 name "I-Link1_2"
          exit
       member 2
          type "JL259A" mac-address 9cdc71-362fe0
          priority 128
          link 1 2/23
          link 1 name "I-Link2_1"
          link 2 2/24
          link 2 name "I-Link2_2"
          exit
       port-speed 1g
       exit

     

    Reading the documentation I think I understand that it would be best if I had 1 VSF link of two ports, this way:

     

    vsf
       enable domain 9001
       member 1
          type "JL259A" mac-address 08f1ea-4a4020
          priority 255
          link 1 1/23-1/24
          link 1 name "I-Link1_1"
          link 2 name "I-Link1_2"
          exit
       member 2
          type "JL259A" mac-address 548028-6068e0
          priority 128
          link 1 2/23-2/24
          link 1 name "I-Link2_1"
          link 2 name "I-Link2_2"
          exit
       port-speed 1g
       exit

     

    If this last configuration is the best, could I make the configuration change in such a way that it doesn't affect the network traffic too much?
    If so, how should I proceed in this case?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
    Best regards
    Gabriel

    Hi,

     

    The second is better (the first solution will don't work with only two if you look vsf status / topology)

     

    Yes, you can make change (Need to remove the port for link 2 and add to link 1)
