Connecting two HP 2910al in failover config
I am moving from an all Cisco environment to HP ProCurve. The question I have is it possible to configure two 2910al's in a failover config so that in case 1 of them fails it can failover to the other one. Does the ProCurve use heartbeats like Cisco?

Re: Connecting two HP 2910al in failover config
Some procurve switches use VRRP for L3 redundency. And VRRP uses heartbeats indeed.
However the 2910 does not have VRRP support.
3500, 5400, 6600 and 8200 switches do have it. Note it requires an extra license on the switch to use.

I want to establish some sort of Level 2 redundancy. I want to see a configuration document or something of that sort that could help me design this better.
Thanks for your inputs so far.

Re: Connecting two HP 2910al in failover config
Have a look at:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.procurve.com%2Ftraining%2FManuals%2F3500-5400-6200-6600-8200-MCG-Sept09-12-PortTrunk.pdf&ei=YBBYTPGeBIaNnQeo8ZjNCA&usg=AFQjCNFFG54KZf373b_3PiUWr4rkfw8Fsg
Otherwise you could simply set up fail-over nic teams on the servers and use spanning tree on the switches.
