Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
We have two procurve 2810 switches and we want to make them redundant. What would be the best way to get this done?
I was thinking of connecting installing two fiber miniports in both switches to get a fully redundant 2GB connection between the switches. After that, does it require any more configuration?

Re: Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
The idea is to connect all the servers on both switches. In case switch one goes down the servers should have a conncetion using the other switch. All the NICs on the servers are configured as active/standby.

Re: Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
- Make sure to set NIC's(if HP Servers) to fault tolerant and not auto
- Make sure you have redundant uplinks

STP is the Spanning Tree protocol is that right?
Doesn't STP need any configuration?

Re: Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
may be use in the redundacy
but spanning tree block second nic
you can only use one interface on server
second interface will be block by stp
very bad
2810 switch a edge switch for network edge
you need 3500 swtich
for Server-to-switch distributed trunking
Server-to-switch distributed trunking: allows a server to connect to two switches with one logical trunk that consists of multiple physical connections; enables load-balancing and increases resiliency New!

Re: Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
You can use a link aggregation to merge the links logically as 1 link
there are 2 option, using normal trunk or use lacp
this way the stp will see the 2 links as 1 trunk link and will not block any one of them and also if one fails the other will continue working normaly.
If you need further info. of how to configure that please inform me

Re: Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
The trunk configuration must be performed on both sides of the trunk before the redundant links are connected.
Below are the commands
#trunk a1,a3 trk1 lacp
a1, a3: the ports the are configured, you can put any ports you want but the ports must be directly connected to the other switch.
trk1, trk2,...: fixed lable names for the trunk group
lacp: is the protocol
The trunk configuration must be performed on both sides of the trunk before the redundant links are connected.
after configuring the trk1, the attached ports will be removed automaticlly from any vlan and trk1 will be the logical link for them, and it will be untagged in vlan1, to carry the traffic for other vlans you need to tag the trk1 in the vlans you want.
one more thing, the ports must be in full-duplex
That's it try it, for further information you can check the switch manual.

You just need to enable RSTP
spanning-tree
spanning-tree force-version RSTP-operation

Re: Make two Procurve 2810's redundant
And btw, trunk is already available in the swtich so it will not cost him anything actually.
