It seems that your goal in setting up LACP is to improve the read/write speeds between PCs, am I right? It seems your concern is similar to this forum link I found online. Kindly access and read it.
Doing an iPerf test would help. Here are the links I found online that you could use as a guide to perform an iPerf test.
What is iPerf and how is it used?

Hi hosregla,
I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to implement the network set up you wanted that involves LAG configuration? If yes, what are the results?

I have not made any changes yet.
Other question, if I restore default values, which IP takes the switch?
My current approach to networking is that of the last photo.

Hi hosregla,
If you restore the switch to factory defaults, the IP address of it will default back into 192.168.0.239. However, be reminded that DHCP is enabled by default so if you will perform a factory reset while the switch is connected to the existing network, it might get assigned an IP Address from the DHCP server.
For me, it would be best to disconnect the switch from the existing network before doing a factory reset on it then assign a static IP address to it before connecting it back to the existing network.

Hi, i return with news.
i reseted that sw by default config, and it was rise like ip x.x.0.12 (by dhcp client)
i config LAG in SW A and SW B. that sw are in same RACK. RACK AB CALLED is it.
That capture is switche B
that other capture is SW A.
i have test with same server. xxxx.237 it is in SW A.
I Test it, with computer are in SW B.
the actual SCheme is.

Hi hosregla,
It seems that you have set up LAG properly between Switches A and B. Based from the screenshots, it would be best if you change the LAG Type from Static to LACP.
Advantages of LACP over Static LAG:
1. Even if one physical links fails, it will detect if the point-to-point connection is using a media converter, so that the link status at the switching port remains up. Because LACPDUs (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Units) do not form a component of this connection, the link will be removed from the link aggregate. This ensures that packets will not be lost due to the failed link.
2. Both of the devices can mutually confirm the LAG configuration. With static link aggregation, errors in the configuration or wiring will often not be detected as quickly.
For more details about LAG and the basics of LACP, kindly access this link

Hi Hosregla,
I will close the case, when trying to change the LAG mode to the one recommended above.
And when you try to connect all SWITCHES to A.
Thank you. - hosreglaJan 03, 2017Aspirant
Sorry for the delay, I have not been to work in the last 15 days.
i have just change to LACP, this night reboot Switches. SW A and SW B. I will test traficc with same program.(totusoft.com/ LAN SPEED TEST)
and after, i will wired all swiches B,C,D,E,G to A (directly) and I will check if there is any difference with the current scheme.

i have the same result with LACP without LACP.

Obviously if NETGEAR FORUM says that I put LACP, instead of STATIC, I put LACP.
I completely understand that a test of velocity measurement, between two points, is very simple, and that there must be deeper tests.
Thnks by your knowledgebase!!!!
