Netgear AX12 and CM1100 Port Aggregation

Looks like a bad MB.  Returning and will get a new one.  Will finish setting this up and switch this weekend.  Will report back.

It was a bad motherboard.  I received the new one today and installed.  Everything works great.

To clarify on the switch

- Connection from router to switch should be multi gig on router to outlet 9 on the switch?

- Setup LAG 1-4 for QNAP

I have 5,6,7 and 8 open at this point.  The only other devices I have are ooma, phillips hue and connectio for my imac.  Should I connect them to the router or switch?

Thanks again for all your help.  

I tried to edit the post but could not.  I think the router mlulti gig should go to 7 or 8 which are 5g, not 9 as that is 10g.  Is this correct.

Also, router to modem, no change.  

Last piece, setup the LAG on switch

Under LAG configuration it shows 

Ch. 1 QNAP Enable, Enable, LACP, Down

When I go to LAG Membership it shows LAG 1 with 1, 2,3 and 4 checked.  

Is there anything else needed?

That is correct, use port 7 or 8 on the MS510TX.

It looks like you setup the LAG correctly:

chose a LAG (for example ch1) and changed it to LACP

added ports 1-4 on the MS510TX as members to ch1 LAG

If that's not working then maybe you missed a setting on the NAS to enable LACP LAG?

Sorry, this is all I can help with as I'm not familiar with QNAP NAS's... only Synology NAS's.

Anyone familiar with setting up an LACP LAG between a QNAP NAS and Netgear switch?

schumaku maybe?

Very similar - things need to be configured accordingly.

That might be a good guess 8-)

Let's see if  jimlenz  confirms the LACP 802.3d LACP config on the four NAS GbE ports to start with. Can bring up a TVS-473 with a four port LAG on a MS510TX if required for a test.

I went into the NAS and setup port trunking with the 4 lan spots.  Once I rebooted, the NAS runs very slow and when I reboot it takes forever.  Obviously, something is wrong with the setup either from the NAS or switch side.  

When it diid finally login I tried to get back to the network section of control panel to change things back but it continues to say it is loading and wait.  

When I connect the Lan cables to the switch do they have to line up 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and so forth?  If so, that may be a problem but cant imagine it would be.  

I utilized these instructions to setup.

When I reboot and go into qfinder pro it says the NAS has entered an abnormal state and says to contact the system administrator.  I can never get to the login page.  Definitely something is wrong.  

Any advice is helpful.  

I tried to disconnect the other lan cables and onlly have #1 but continue to have the same problem.  When I disconnect from the switch and connect back into my router, everything is back to normal.

Sequence doesn't matter. 

Operating a Virtual Switch or four native interfaces with the Port Trunking on QTS?

I would opt for an LACP (803.3ad) trunk - obviously on both ends - instead of going for a static LAG with balanced-xor policy.

This reads similar to the problems we're experiencing with the LAG on the two 10G ports.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Quickly set-up an LACP LAG over the four GbE ports g1..g4 on the MS510TX and the four GbE ports on a TVS-473:

Looks OK to me.
