XSM4216F connecting to multiple 24 Port GSM4230PX
Hello,
I have connected 8 GSM4230 Switches via Fiber Kabel to the XSM4216F. When I connect al Laptop to the 16F, I can see all the other switches. But when I connect a Laptop to one of the GSM, I can only see the 16F and not the other switches. I connected each switch with a seperate LAG-ID to the "core" switch". Auto-LAG is enabled.
Is there a tutorial for this kind of setup or has someone a solution?

- LaurentMaNETGEAR ExpertSorry, I don't really know where is the problem.
Can you follow our application notes: https://www.netgear.com/hub/business/av/av-tech-guides/
With Auto-LAG enabled, and Auto-Trunk, you shouldn't configure anything on the uplinks. You should leave them unconfigured.
Now, it's normal you see all switches when connecting to the core switch. It's normal you only see the core switch when connecting to one switch at the edge.
You should use our Engage controller (it's free). Please follow the how-to's and email proavdesign@netgear.com if something is wrong still. We operate during weekdays.
Thank you!
