Connection between 2 switches
I own several netgear switches but have a question relating to a link between:-
GS724Tv3 - 24 Port Gigabit Pro Safe
GSS108EPP – 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Smart Managed Plus Click Switch
I currently use a single CAT 6 between these devices, however I have a 2nd CAT 6 between them but not connected. Can I do anything with ports 23T/24T and two ports on the 8 port switch to impove connection speed between these two switches. I obvioulsy need to avoid creating loops and realise it my just create a bottle neck elsewhere.

Hi Steve,
Yes, you can: Create a Static LAG (Link Aggregation Group) on both switches.
Note: It has to be static because of the 116EPP does not support dynamic/LACP. Don't connect the second connection before both ends are configured - in case something goes bullocks, you can always disconnect the cable again.-Kurt

Easy when you know how! :smileyhappy:
Thanks!
Many different names are used in the industry for the same - LAG, aggregation, bonding, ... - essentially all doing the same. Now you can also connect your NAS, your high performance workstation, ... to the network. Just create one LAG for each device.
Enjoy!
