GS728TS Stack issues with interfaces and LAG's
Hi, We have 2 x GS728TS switches (running firmware 5.3.0.26) connected together in a stack with dual stacking cables. There are 4 servers connected to the stack via LAG's. Each LAG consists o...
Hi,
During an extensive maintenance window last night, I powered down and removed all power to both switches in the stack for around 5 minutes.
I then re-applied power to both switches and after allowing then to boot up, checked them and they now appear to be working correctly again.
I have just re-checked the switches (approx 8 hours later) and they are still working fine - no issues noticed or detected.

Hi SRE,
Welcome to the community! :)
I suggest you to set up port mirroring on the stack of GS728TS switches. Select a port(s) as a source port(s) on the GS728TS stack where the server(s) that runs multiple VMs is directly connected. Then, select another port as a destination port on the GS728TS stack where a PC with Wireshark installed in it is directly connected. Run Wireshark and observe if same problem will occur. It would be best that Wireshark would capture the packets on the event the problem occurs from the source port(s).
Kindly read page 278 of the GS728TS software administration manual here on how to set up port mirroring. You may download Wireshark on this link. As reference, you may check this link I found online on how to use Wireshark.
For the captured packets to be analyzed, kindly open an online case with NETGEAR Support regarding your concern. Attach the captured packets from Wireshark on the online case you have opened for it to be analyzed by the NETGEAR Support team.
