RAXE500 Link Aggregation Not Working
I purchased a Netgear RAXE500 recently and I'm on the latest firmware (V1.0.5.62_2.0.35).
I am unable to setup link aggregation on. I have tried both static and LACP mode using a Netgear and a TP-Link switch. But, none of them seem to be working. After turning on link aggregation, the Netgear router fails to provide a DHCP address to the connected switch and then the switch defaults back to its self-assigned IP address. I think there might some issue with loopback in the network when link aggregation is turned on.
Is anyone else using this router and been able to successfuly setup link aggregation?

On your switch, did you enable LACP on the 2 ports that you have connected to the router? Both the router and the switch must have LACP enabledd otherwise you will run intl an unusable connection.

Yes, obviously. I setup LACP on both the router and the switch and then connected the cables on both ports.

Hi @Christian_R ,
A case has been open since 05/18/21. Unfortunately, there is still no resolution on this.
I am surprised that support has not been able to provide me a solution in spite of both my devices being Netgear.
I would appreciate if you can escalate the case.

Re: RAXE500 Link Aggregation Not Working
With some managed switches, it can get tricky getting LACP working right, especially when they offer a ton of different methods and hashing types, where it could end up requiring some trial and error.
TP-Link tends to offer a bunch of options on their managed switches for hash algorithm, number of ports used, passive or active LACP, etc.
