I have HPE servers plugged into a HPE Aruba Switch (Aruba-2930M-24G-PoEP).
Each server uses 2 1xGbit/s NICs (eno5 and eno6) in a bond configured with LACP:
(eno7 and eno8 are used for cluster-services)
Do I have to enable STP on vmbr0? I assume, yes ... pls advise.
A second question for the future: we bought a 2nd switch (same model) and would like to set up something like MLAG: one cable per switch, the bonding should connect to both switches ... as far as I read these switches are stackable via a special cable (I haven't yet looked up the price). Is there another option to achieve this without that stacking? thanks in advance, Stefan
