Any chance that LAG will be available on the GS308E in future firmware updates?
schumaku my bad! apologies, didn't have any wrong intention to start an argument. It was my sheer frustration with false advertising of "product spec and definition process".
As a well-known and respected brand, it wouldn't hurt to look at the competition and reflect on how explicitly they make mention on their lower-mid-end switches supporting static aggregation only.
As I'm trying to get this set up for a volunteer-run not-for-profit company, the time, and troubleshooting it has taken has done my head in.
The goal was straightforward:
DIY Router/Firewall appliance ---> Setup LAGG on x2 ports ---- SWTCH ----> Access Point.
All works well from either end, except for the Link aggregation bit as the switch does not support LACP protocol.
Would you be willing to help in setting LAG correctly on this switch, suppose it would be Static Aggregation now. To be fair, there isn't much available option-wise in the GUI. Just LAG1 (Choose from 1,2,3,4 port) LAG2 (Choose from 5,6,7,8).
and a toggle bar to choose which one. In my case I had chosen LAG2 (Port 7 and Port 8 ) and toggled the little button to "green".
From your exp, is there anything I may have overlooked?
