How to setup LAG between 2 Netgear switches?
I'm trying to setup LAG between 2 Netgear switches, but its not working. The switches I'm using are S3300-52X-PoE+ ProSAFE 48-Port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch with PoE+ and 4 10G uplinks and XS72...
Here again, the same setings must be used on both ends. And for the obvious (?) reasons, only one VLAN can be run untagged and with the same PVID configured.
I think the problem is that my LAG Type is still set to Static. It says Static disables LCAP, but setting to LCAP enables it.
LAG Type. Specify whether the LAG is configured as a static or LACP port.
- Static—Disables Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The port does not
transmit or process received LAGPDUs, for example the member ports do not
transmit LAGPDUs and all the LAGPDUs it can receive are dropped. The LAG is
configured manually. The default is Static.
- LACP—Enables Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the selected LAG.
The LAG is configured automatically.
Needless to say the same LAG config is required on both switches - both LACP or both static LAG - isn't it?
I have both switches on Static lag. On the 52 port switch, when I connect the SFP+ cable, it says link up on ports 51, and 52 on LAG 1, so looks like the 52 port switch is configured right.
I cannot get to the 28 port swith, so I can't look at its settings, but its setup the same way as the 52 port
I double checked both switches, and as far as I can tell, they're both configured right. May be I have my cables crossed because I ran 4 SFP+ cables because I'm configuring 4 switches. I'm testing with these 2 switches.
I'm going to remove the cables, and start over just to make sure its not a simple crossed cable.

This means much less assistence - a properly configued and working LACP LAG woud show if there is something wrong. On static LAG, you just have the links.

This does just proof there are two links. Point. Nothing else.

This does make things a little bit hmmmmmm Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, hey?
Update, I have the LAG same way on both switches, but I changed it from untagged (U) to tagged (T), and now on both switches, LAGs are showing up. I'm able to ping both switches now.
