Hii Atian,
No, 1 Lag is fine, i already solved this problem :)
My netgear M7100 have 2port 10G connection through nexus700_1 and 2 10G connection to nexus7000_2 and its all at LAG_1. The problem is, i should activated the vpc at port-channel at nexus7000_1 and Nexus7000_2.... (doooohh this is my bad how do i miss something like this >.< )
So this case is closed, I now have 40G logical connection using LAG_1 at netgear to cisco Nexus7000_1 and Nexus7000_2
Im using 1 Lag at Netgear M7100 who is connected to both cisco nexus7000.
At nexus7000, just create port-channel and vpc for that connection (this is i forgot, adding vpc to port-channel netgear at nexus >.< )
Its SOLVED :)
Thanx DaneA for all your support, without your help i cannot find what is i miss ^.^

Hi bengkyo,
Welcome to the community! :)
I believe setting up LAG the way you want to configure is not the correct way. Kindly access and read the article below then use it as reference guide i setting up LAG on the M7100-24X switch.
How to Configure LAG between two NETGEAR managed switches
I believe this link I found online would be helpful as well.

Hii DaneA,
Thanx for the reply, i already read the pdf file you mention it, and already follow the instruction before i post in here, it still have only 1 interface UP to my cisco.
I followed the instruction on link above too, netgear with cisco, and still only 1 active, the other link standby.
Is there any suggestion ?

Hi bengkyo,
From your initial post, what I have understand is that you want to set up LAG between the M7100-24X switch and two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches wherein you have selected ports 23 and 24 of the M7100-24X switch. Port 23 of the M7100-24X switch is connected to one Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_A) and port 24 of the M7100-24X switch is connected to the other Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_B). This is how you want to set up, am I correct?
If ever I am correct, then the way you want to set up LAG between the M7100-24X switch and two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches is wrong. It should be this way: for example, ports 23 and 24 of the M7100-24X switch should be connected to ports 23 and 24 of one Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_A) then ports 21 and 22 of the M7100-24X switch should be connected to ports 21 and 22 of the other Cisco Nexus 7000 switch (N7000_B).

Thats mean I have 20G uplink on the each netgear to nexus, 40G the total uplink? I think its same, the different is im using 1 link to each nexus, i using this method to my all cisco device and its work. If 1 link can normaly connected, i think 2 link or more should be connected to, but in my case, its only 1 link who connected.
If there any STP config or the other config i miss?

Hi bengkyo,
The way you want to setup LAG between the M7100-24X switch and the two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches will never work because it defeats the purpose of having a LAG. You should consider my example to you from my previous response if you want to configure LAG properly between the M7100-24X switch and two Cisco Nexus 7000 switches.
Kindly access and read the article below:
What are Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) and how do they work with my managed switch?
