Confused about setting up Port Aggregation
Hi, I just got a new S8000 switch that I wish to connect to my R9000 and use Port Aggregation. I am a bit confused though. Maybe someone can help. My goal: 1. Connect my switch to my router to ...
- I actually figured out what was going on with mine. Once I found and installed the beta firmware, the static lag option showed up. I changed that setting and then connected and everything seems to be running fine and port aggregation says that it's active.
How did you get this to work? Can you tell me step by step? I followed the procedure on the netgear website but it wont work. I first disconnected the switch from the router. Setup LAG on the switch at port 7 and 8. Enabled link agregation on the r9000. Connected the cables, 7 and 8 on the switch to 1 and 2 on the r9000, then everything starts flashing and no internet on both the switch and the router. What step am I missing?
EDIT: sorry, didn't read properly :D
If the switch is blinking like mad, it means "loop detected". On traditional switches anyway, I don't know the S8000.
So that would mean the aggregate is not configured properly.

Yes, I followed it exactly.
OK, then you're most likely going to need help from someone from NETGEAR, either here or via Support contact.
