Tonkinite,

Kindly try the steps below:

1. On the RN626X, set the Teaming Mode and Hash Type to 802.11ad and Layer 2 respectively.

2. On the XS728T, set the LAG Type to LACP.

Let us know the results.

Hi Tonkinite,

Kindly answer the questions below:

a. What is the Teaming Mode and Hash Type configured on the RN626X?

b. What is the LAG Type configured on the XS728T?

c. What tests did you perform that you came up that you're getting suboptimal throughput with the LACP configured between the RN626X and the XS728T?

d. What is the current firmware of the XS728T?

e. What is the current firmware version of the RN626X?

None, I'm asking the question because I don't think I have the proper equipment to test.
Version 6.5.1.26
Version 6.6.1

  So, the XS728T can't handle L2+L3 hashing or other variants beyond the standard L2, that seems shortsighted, to say the least.
