SXK80 2.5Gbe Wired Backhual with Switch in between
I have a need to use a use a switch in between the SXR80 router and SXS80 satellites. Customer wants to use an MS510TX, MS510TXM, or MS4300-16X for the switch. Will multiple VLANS (admin, guest, IoT, ...
I try the MS510TXPP switch yesterday, But the orbi Pro SXK80 can not use the switch to wired backhaul.
That is not what I wanted to hear. Maybe the MS510TXM or a fully managed switch would work. I really need to get my hands on a SXK80, MS510TXM/UP, and XSM4316PA/B to fully vet the new Orbi Pro line myself. I have had so many clients asking about the SXK80 along with Netgear's new multi-gig switches. 1Gbe connections just aren't fast enough for some of my clients. 2.5/5Gbe ports are becoming a must feature for a lot of my clients. Netgear's software implementation of LAGs are okay, but not what the client needs a lot of the time.
Me too. I also want to use managed switch with 2.5G/5G/10G Port to wired backhaul.
But I can not find the way to config the managed switch for SXK80 wired backhual in netgear website.
Now I have to change to unmanaged switch and just use GE Port to Wired backhaul : (
Afraid, have no SRK80 system available - simply unable and unwilling to buy each kit of $$$$ hardware just to assist here in the community (not paid, sponsored, or backed in any way by Netgear - not even a Happy New Year card with a thank you...)
TonyTest and kc6108 you can please try this on the MS510[any] or for the sake on any other Web or however manageable switch:
- Enable STP [Switching -> STP] (Note: This is network wide, not limited to the VLANs used by the SRK80 system)
- STP Configuration Revision Level 32768 (that's a prio in fact allowing the consumer and classic Orbi Pro to prefer the wired over the wireless backhaul)
- Disable the L2 Loop Protection [Switching -> L2 Loop Protection]
...or make it behave like a non-managed "dumb" switch...:
- Disable STP [Switching -> STP]
- Enable Forward BPDU while STP Disabled
- Disable the L2 Loop Protection [Switching -> L2 Loop Protection]
Using a switch between may not be supported by the Pro models still. It didn't work for me or my clients in the past. Notice how the Orbi Pro models aren't listed in this KB...
