LAG with LACP GS752TXPv3 Windows Server
Hello, I have a problem on a GS752TXPv3 with setting up a LAG with LACP for a Windows server (2-port Intel NIC) with NIC-teaming. The Windows configuration ran stable for years on a GS752TXS without any change. Teaming with LACP dynamic. When I set up the LAG on the GS752TXPv3 and set it to LACP (source/destination MAC, incoming port), a broadcast storm starts when the server is plugged in and connectivity is restricted. I can reproduce the issue with W2012R2 and W2022, Intel and Broadcom server-NICs, switch firmwares 6.2.1.32 and 6.2.2.15. What am I doing wrong? Best Kai-UweM7300/M4300, and all netgear managed switches, apparently do not support LACP fallback mode
We have both M4300 and M7300 10GbE switches from Netgear in our environment. It does not appear that any netgear switches support LACP fallback mode. We already checked with support and tried the latest firmware. In other words, LACP is either enabled or disabled. There is no way to have it enabled, but to automatically fall back to disabled, when appropriate. This creates significant issues in our environment, and for many others, as any kind of re-imaging of a server using PXE will fail. There is no way to have PXE enable LACP, so as soon as the server reboots and goes into PXE, we lose connectivity. Even outside of PXE, if you take a typical ESXi server that has LACP turned on and then try to reinstall ESXi off a ISO image, you cannot configure LACP during the install, so the 10GbE ports will have no connectivity. Cisco, Arista and every other switch vendor we have seen has some kind of setting to turn on LACP fallback mode. On catalyst it is turned on by default. On nexus it is enabled with "lacp suspend-individual", etc., etc. It would be great to get some feedback from Netgear product management on this topic, as this greatly limits how we can adopt this switch in enterprise deployments. Thanks, FYI, I am waiting for a response before I post this on other forums and product reviews to make sure this is not a mistake or some kind of hidden feature that I could not find.Solved4.3KViews0likes11CommentsXS716T with LACP and FreeNAS
Dear community, I'm just about to setup LACP in my network in order to provide link redundancy when accessing our FreeNAS server. I updated firmware of XS716T to newest version 6.6.3.3. When creating the link aggregation, however, I'm not sure what to select at "Hash mode". There are 6 different options: - 1 Src MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port - 2 Dest Mac, VLAN, EType, incoming port - 3 Src/Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port - 4 Src IP and Src TCP/UDP Port fields - 5 Dest IP and Dest TCP/UDP Port fields - 6 Src/Dest IP and TCP/UDP Port fields As far as I remember, mode 3 is the most compatible mode. However, I have read that selecting mode 6 will give maximum performance and reliability? What mode should be selected when link redundancy is the number one priority? Is it correct to set STP mode and Link Trap on "enabled"? Thanks so much for your help! Kind Regards, ScampicfxSolved
Optimal configuration on XS728T for RN626X with LACP bonding
My 10G ports on my RN626X are LACP bonded and plugged in to my XS728T and this appears to work fine without any special configuration on the switch, but am concerned that I am getting suboptimal throughput. How should I be configuring the ports on the XS728T to optimize throughput in this situation? The ReadyNAS ports are configured with a MTU of 9000 (aware that 10G can go larger, but 9000 is compatible with the other devices on the Switch, minimal reassembly, etc.). Advice?SolvedGS724T does it support LACP- I want to enable Port Trunking on Buffalo NAS Backup Drive
I have a Buffalo Terrastaion connected to LAN with 2 discreet Gigabyte Ethernet connections to GS724T. To improve bandwidth I can enable Port Trunking using Dynamic Link Aggregation on Terrastation, but in order for this to work LACP requires implementing on the GS724T. I am now out of my technical depth and would appreciate some advice oe help on if it is possible to to do this and if so how? Is LACP available on the GS724T? If so is it a Switch option, or is it implemented on the specific ports the NAS drive is connected to. Thanks and eternally grateful BeckoSolved
