Hi robfantini,
Have you tried to disconnect the LAG connections (4 other NETGEAR switches + 2 proxmox clusters [10 nodes] & NFS system) to check if fail over will work fine once you reboot the Management Unit? If not yet, kindly try it and observe.
Also, you can try to disable Link Trap and see if it helps.
About the slow connections, try to configure Storm Control and check if it helps. Kindly read pages 493-496 of the GSM7352Sv2 user manual here.

Just retest that and failover is quick. no issue.

It already is disabled.

OK just checked -
Storm control Global Configuration: was alread enabled and
Broadcast Storm Control All was already enabled.
I have a question on Storm Control Interface Configuration:
for ' Broadcast Storm Recovery Mode' Should that be enabled?
I'll do those next. and will test rebooting the master switch on Saturday.

Thanks for the feedback.
To isolate, leave Broadcast Storm Recovery Mode as disabled and observe what happens. Then, set the threshold for the Broadcast Storm Recovery Level and try to enable Broadcast Storm Recovery Mode then observe again if it helps.
