M4300 LACP 802.3ad with
Hello,
I'm currently changing my switch with M4300-96X.
I've a problem with my NAS LACP (802.3ad compliant). My NAS (QNAP) is setup in trunking mode IEEE 802.3ad with all his ports (4x 1G base-T & 2x 10G Fiber) in L2+3.
In the config of my M4300 I've try multiple settings and I don't really understand the behavior.
When I set my LACP like:
Local Interface................................ lag 5
Channel Name................................... ch5
Link State..................................... Down
Admin Mode..................................... Enabled
Type........................................... Dynamic
Port-channel Min-links......................... 1
Load Balance Option............................ 3
(Src/Dest IP and TCP/UDP Port fields)
Local Preference Mode.......................... Disabled
Mbr Device/ Port Port
Ports Timeout Speed Active
------- ------------- --------- -------
1/1/3 actor/long 10G Full False
partner/long
1/7/6 actor/long Auto False
partner/long
1/7/7 actor/long Auto False
partner/long
1/8/6 actor/long Auto False
partner/long
1/8/7 actor/long Auto False
partner/long
1/2/3 actor/long 10G Full False
partner/long
My interface is shown as down, and I can't even pong my NAS. If I remove my SFP the 1G ports as still show as down, but I can access my device.
I've tried the load balanced option in 6, the problem is still the same.
Just to test I've disabled my LACP (with using the static mode on) and now my interface is shown as up (but my NAS isn't accessible which is normal).
I've tried the SFP port alone and they don't work either (if I disable LACP they are shown as up but don't work).
Just in case I've tried to disable STP and that doesn't change anything.
If you have an idea, that would be awesome.

Definitively an illegal configuration, no matter if we talk standards, QNAP, or Netgear M4300. In a LAG group, only links with the same speed and the same latency must be configured. Remove the four GbE links, and operate the LAG on the two 10G fiber ports. Review the LAG config on the 10G fiber pair, show us the QNAP and the M4300-96 Web LAG and LACP based config please..
I completely forgot this point ..
There is my configuration. It is still not working with only the 2 fiber ports.
Fiber links are up (link LED up, showing activity)?
What SFP+ modules are in place on the M4300 and on the QNAP end of the connection? Correct fiber types in place?
