HI rlatimer4,

 

The configuration that you described below seems correct however seems that instead a LAG a loop it's detected in your network.

 

Do you mind to share with us the config screenshoots of the GS108T and GS116Ev3 on the link Aggregation.

 

Moreover please check that you enable the LAG interface too.

Hi Xavier, 

 

I do have admin mode enabled on both ends.  Currently only one cable is plugged in.  Here are the screen shots for the GS116Ev2, and below that the GS108Tv2.  I did enable loop detection on the GS116Ev2, could that be causing the problem?
