PLEASE HELP - Can't figure out LAG's setup to 2 other GS724Tv4's in same network....
Greetings all, I am new to setting up and connecting LAG's.
I just installed a new GS748Tv5 in the main server rack in a customer's main warehouse. I am trying to connect a GS724Tv4 switch to it in part of the warehouse that is ~250ft away from the main server rack and setup a LAG via 2 x CAT6 cables ran to it.
I also want to do the same to another GS724Tv4 switch in another part of the warehouse that is ~400ft away from the main server rack and also has 2 x CAT6 cables ran to it.
I tried creating so static LAG's (lag1 and lag2), each with their own lag id and assigned 2 ports on the 48-switch for each lag. I then logged into each 24-switch and created a lag matching the id's I wanted from the 48-switch and ports 23 & 24.
But when I connect the cables, their is no connectivity and the links show that they are DOWN.
Continuity tests on the runs are fine. I dont know what to do :(
I need to make sure that these 2 x 24-switches have a stable connection to the main 48-switch...
Thanks in advance for any / all help :)

Maximum supported cable length is 100 meters or 295 ft. ~250 ft can be easily more on the effective installation, including patch cables et all, ~400ft definitively stinks.
Run fiber on such distances!
