Has anyone got the link agregation to work on their R9000 and Nighthawk switch?
I did the step by step procedure on this link but still wont work. Has anyone go the link agregation to work on their R9000 and Nighthawk switch? https://kb.netgear.com/000037841/How-do-I-set-up...
For the GS808E management, you can use a different single GbE connection - just do _not_ use the two aggregation ports on the R9000 (#1 and #2) and leave the two ports you intend to configure to a static LAG open. Unfortunately, Netgear has added to much UI "intelligence" requiring either both ports down, or both ports up on a GbE link.
We're using the second LAG available for configuration on the GS808E to connect a NAS in a static trunk with Blanced-XOR mode, too.
As Xavier already mentioned, you need at least the R9000 1.0.2.18 Beta (which does come with QoS) or the 1.0.2.30 released these days to enable the static LAG on the R9000 port #1 & #2:
I have it working without issues. Unit is attached to a synology nas416 unit which supports link aggregation (2 ports). Plugged in lan1 and lan2 and it is working with no further work.
