How to setup LAG between 2 Netgear switches?
I'm trying to setup LAG between 2 Netgear switches, but its not working. The switches I'm using are S3300-52X-PoE+ ProSAFE 48-Port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch with PoE+ and 4 10G uplinks and XS72...
Here again, the same setings must be used on both ends. And for the obvious (?) reasons, only one VLAN can be run untagged and with the same PVID configured.
On the S3300 52 port switch, the SFP+ ports 51,52 were already set to Ethernet. And when I go to ports, I can see that these ports are labeled 'Trunk-Member' on this switch and the 28 port switch.
Currently I do have an ethernet cable as the trunk, but when I connect the SFP+ cables to both switches, I'm disconnecting the ethernet trunk.
The only thing that I can think it that may be I bought the wrong type of SFP+ cables?
I think the problem is that my LAG Type is still set to Static. It says Static disables LCAP, but setting to LCAP enables it.
LAG Type. Specify whether the LAG is configured as a static or LACP port.
- Static—Disables Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The port does not
transmit or process received LAGPDUs, for example the member ports do not
transmit LAGPDUs and all the LAGPDUs it can receive are dropped. The LAG is
configured manually. The default is Static.
- LACP—Enables Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the selected LAG.
The LAG is configured automatically.
Needless to say the same LAG config is required on both switches - both LACP or both static LAG - isn't it?
I have both switches on Static lag. On the 52 port switch, when I connect the SFP+ cable, it says link up on ports 51, and 52 on LAG 1, so looks like the 52 port switch is configured right.
I cannot get to the 28 port swith, so I can't look at its settings, but its setup the same way as the 52 port
I double checked both switches, and as far as I can tell, they're both configured right. May be I have my cables crossed because I ran 4 SFP+ cables because I'm configuring 4 switches. I'm testing with these 2 switches.
I'm going to remove the cables, and start over just to make sure its not a simple crossed cable.
