LACP no longer working on RN516 running 6.7.5
LACP bonding no longer seems to work with my RN516 on 6.7.5, the switch shows only one interface up, as if the teaming is Active Backup, not LACP. The MTU keeps resetting to 1500 from 9000, as if th...
Hello Tonkinite,
Upon checking the logs I cannot find anything relevant that may cause this behavior of the NAS. Have you tried removing the bond and then re-creating it after the firmware upgrade? You can also try to remove the bond then observe each ethernet port connection if it will be stable or not.

Yes, made no difference on either firmware level, switch shows only one link active, unlike on the RN626X, where both links show active.
Hello Tonkinite,
Have you tried removing the bond and connect the NAS just via ethernet and observe if the connection is stable?

NETGEAR Community TeamYes, tried this morning.
Unbonded, unit works with both links, either separately or with both plugged in. Nothing wrong with the hardware.
Has anyone tested this issue there? At this point, it appears to be a bug, possibly dating back to the early 6.7.x releases.
Hello Tonkinite,
What hashing is set on the bonding/teaming? Please try setting different hashing type and check if it will make any difference? Please provide details on how do you test the disconnection problem? For isolation have you tried connecting the NAS to different port on the switch? The LACP setup, is the NAS set on static IP address or it is getting it via DHCP?

NETGEAR Community TeamL2 hashing is being used, and the ports on the switch the unit is normally connected to are LAG'd in LACP mode as L2 hashing is the only possibility on the XS series switches at the present time, would appreciate if you would speak to the team in charge of the XS series firmware on behalf of the ReadyNAS community. If I were to change the hashing mode, the LAG'd ports on the switch would simply not see either connection as active, you can look at the thread I opened on Community a while back regarding this.
As to connecting to non LAG'd ports on the switch, the switch then shows both connections as active, but per DaneA, this setup is not optimal, I'm guessing that means failover would work properly, but suspect both connections would not be used simultaneously.
