Types of 10 Gb cables for trunk
I have two 10 Gb Netgear switches on two sides of the server room, about 20 feet of each other. Right now, the trunk is only 1 Gb because I'm using a Cat 5 cable. I would like to make the trunk 20 Gb...
Links participating in a LAG should run on similar speed and latency. It's the LAG operating the trunk - so be careful that you set the VLAN config on the LAG, not the individual link.
Sounds like I need to use SFP+ since I’m trying to make the connection faster between the switches and NAS
I’m assuming I need to setup the LAG on the two SFP+ ports to make it 20 Gb? Also what happens if I leave the 1 Gb trunk connected? Would I have 21 Gb?
- Am I right?

- Thank you. But I’m curious to know what would happen if I use 1 gb and 20 go for trunk. Just wondering.
