GS716v2 VLAN with LAG

Hi

 

I'm a little bit confused about a HowTo :-/

I've two GS716v3:

  • Both are connected via LAG1 (via SFP)
  • Switch #1 has VLAN6 has the Memberports 9 (U), 10 (T), 11 (T), 12 (T)
  • Switch #2 has VLAN6 has the Memberport 4 (U)
  • #1:Port9 and #2:Port 4 has an untagging device
  • #1: Port9 has PVID 6 and #2:Port4 has also PVID 6

On #1:Port9 there are the Guestnetwork from my router (fritzbox) and target should be,
that the PC on #2:4 got the IP-Address from Guest Addressrange.

When i set them to VLAN1 (T) and VLAN6 (T) there are displayed after refresh only as (U) :-/

 

How must the LAG Ports propper set to work?

 

Thanks

    Andreas_B,

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    You mentioned that you have 2 GS716Tv3 connected via LAG using the SFP port, assuming that you have it connected as such:

    Router > Switch #1 > Switch #2 > End devices

     

    Then you may refer to this document on how to configure LAG for both switches.

     

    As for the VLAN, it would be best if you could attach a screenshot showing the VLAN memberships, what devices are connected to the ports, and what you'd like to achieve as well on the switches besides establishing a LAG connection, if any.

     

     

    Please let us know if you have any concerns.

     


    Regards,

        Hi@All

         

        Here are now my configuration and painted solution of my Issue.

         

        Please remeber that before you create LAGs, disconnect physical the needed ports from LAN.
        Otherwise you will possible run into a packet storm and you are unable to configure your settings ;-)

         

        Thanks @ All

    Just an attempt of decoding ...

    The VLAN 6 will be feeded by the Fritz guest port to sw1, port 4, [u]ntagged 6, PVID 6 (and no other VLAN membership on that port)

    The VLAN 6 is required to be available in sw2, port 10, 11, and 12, [t]agged e.g. for a wireless AP or the like

    The VLAN 6 is required in sw2, port 9, [u]ntagged 6, PVID 6 (and no other VLAN membership on that port) for a guest PC

    Was struggling about the "them" - guess you talk on the two SFP ports configured to a LAG on each of sw1 and sw2. 

     

    Te point is that you apply the VLAN config not to the individual ports (as we have to do on the Netgear Plus series switches) - much more we have to apply the VLAN config on the LAG, so instead of selecting the LAG port members, select the LAG. This is where you can apply the VLAN config with the [t]agged for VLAN 1 and VLAN 6.

      Hi schumaku 

       

      Life can be so easy ;-)

       

      Thanks, it's working now.

      I will add ASAP the cofiguration as image, for all other users with the same problem/understanding like me.
