2 Stacked GS752TS need High-availibility to stack
Hello, I have 2 GS752TS stacked (SFP) with only one uplink coming from our gateway/firewall connected to the Master switch. I have my servers connected to both switches (LAG), but what if the Master switch dies? What is the best way to make sure if the Master dies my slave has connectivity to the outside network? Options I have come up with:
- Provide a second uplink from the gateway/firewall with some config on the firewall so it's on the same sub as the original uplink.
- Insert a smaller switch to split the one uplink into two.
- Some magic config on the GS752TS.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance!

Hi drewsandiego,
Welcome to our community!
I may agree to the first and second option that you have that you may connect 1 switch to the router and also the second switch goes to the router. The 2nd option will also work as long as the smaller switch that you have should also support STP/RSTP to avoid loop inside your network.

Thank you JohnCarlo. I appreciate the good advice. I think option 1 will be the way I go. We've been looking at getting a new firewall anyhow.
