13 Topics4350 multiple routers for a/v
I have a video over ip system (transmit receiver bluestream to send hdmi to monitors on a network) 4x 4350 switches with sfp modules to link is 'stacking' how i need to configure this? They will be wired in a spider configuration and there will be sends and receives across the multiple routers.670Views0likes5CommentsM4300 stack with over 10Gb lag groups
Hey I would like to make a stack with six 10Gb links between two m4300 switches. I use Ligtware Ubex vido converters from with two DAC cables that go to the switch. When sending 4k images, the lag group is about 12Gb in size and the switch can manage the lag group well. The Stack between the switches does not know how to divide the LAG group into several 10Gb lanes, but tries to put everything in one cable and the next lag group in another. Is it possible to get the stack to handle LAG groups with a data flow of more than 10Gb?406Views0likes0CommentsNetgear-brand SFP+ Bi-directional Transceivers?
I have just finished integrating a small/building-scale multimode (OM3) fiber backbone using Netgear 4300-series switches. I am using Netgear AXM761 duplex/multimode SFP+ transceivers. I have also experimented (successfully) with "bidirectional-over-multimode" (simplex) using "off-brand" SFP+ transceivers. Seems to deliver viable 10G performance at my distances/scales. Does Netgear make bi-directional SFP+ transceivers? Looking for something resembling the 10Gtek 1270nm/1330nm/40km parts I have been using in my experiments (readily available at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LPHIK6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1). I have searched the web without success. Netgear part numbers would be ideal... assuming anything like this exists. Feel free to reply here (I am new to the forums, don't know if there is a "private message" capability). Thanks.1.3KViews0likes3CommentsCannot enable PFC on any port on M4300-8x8F
Trying to enable PFC on some ports on our new M4300-8X8F switch, running firmware version 12.0.7.8 (latest). Receive the following alert via web gui: Error! PFC is not supported on this interface. Have also tried via CLI and receive the following; This command is not supported on the port x/x/x According to the datasheet, PFC is supported. I have tried on multiple ports, some of which have had no configuration applied to them out of the box. I've also tried it on active ports and inactive. I get the same errors each time. Could anyone please help? Cheers, Ben2.9KViews0likes4Comments10gb switch + ReadyNAS help
First off... apologies if I've got this in the wrong board - wasn't sure whether to go in switches or ReadyNAS. Anyway, I recently posted a topic about configuring link aggregation for a new ReadyNAS 3138 (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNas-link-aggregation/td-p/1656734#M150813). I've since bonded some of its interfaces and configured in Round Robin which seems to be working OK. But I'm now looking at going a few steps further. We have a Netgear JGS516 16 port unmanaged switch which, for a number of reasons is full up. We have also 5 clients on the network that have 10gb ethernet interfaces, so I'm looking at getting some new switches, I'm wondering if I can solve a few problems, that is: 1) Create a 10gb network for the clients that support it 2) Free up some space on the JGS516 and reserve this for the slower / peripheral devices (e.g., printers, APs etc.) 3) Maximise the performance of the ReadyNAS by getting a switch that supports ALB Could someone review my thinking to see if this is likely to work? 1) Keep the JGS516 and put all 'misc' wired clients on it 2) Get (something like) the XS708E 8-Port 10gb switch for the 'true' 10gb clients 3) Get (something like) the MS510TX-100EUS or GS110EMX-100UKS, use four of its ports for the ReadyNAS and bond/aggregate the ports, and then use the 10gb uplink port to connect to the XS708E Is this physically possible and will it achieve what I'm looking for? Finally, if this is likely to work, one possibly limiting factor is that we're only on Cat5e cabling. Will I need to upgrade to 6a (or better) to support the higher speeds? Many thanks for any help and please forgive any stupid assumptions I may have made.940Views0likes0CommentsProblems with VRRP interface tracking on M4300-28G
Dear community, I am trying to set up VRRP on two M4100-28G with latest firmware 12.0.7.7. I have set up 3 IP based VLAN networks and I am trying to run VRRP in all directions. There is no problem in the priority of the switches. But when I try to degrade a priority based on single interface it's not working. I will explain what I mean. Let's say that I have interface 23 and interface 24 in VLAN15. I create VRRP with id:15 and one of the switches becomes master and the other backup. When I go to VRRP tracking and select vrrp 15 I can choose only interface VLAN15 but not the interfaces 23 or 24, the software does not see them online, I get false even when there is active device on the other hand. This way the only way when I can get a priority degrade is when all interfaces of that VLAN are down. This is not what I want because I have other interfaces in different VLANS and I would like to drop the priority based on single interface not based on the whole VLAN interface. I would like to know can I do what I want and how can I do it, or I have to accept that this is what Netgear firmware is possible. I will be gratefull for any help!Solved3.3KViews0likes7CommentsM4300 and Mix Stacking
Hi Guys, I have the M4300 12x12f switches and im trying to see if I can stack with other netgear switches. Can anyone tell me if the following switches are stackable? S3300-52X - I read about this switch being able to stack, but only if I invite the M4300 into a Stacked S3300 Cluster? X5728T GS748T3KViews0likes3CommentsNETGEAR ProSAFE XS748T 10Gb SFP+ Compatability
While planning out some network upgrades, I have been told that the 10Gb SFP+ interface on the XS748T-100NES would not communicate properly with a 10Gb SFP+ port on a Dell SonicWall 3600 due to a mismatch of the brands. Are the communication protocols over SFP+ really so non-standard and brand specific that they wouldn't interface properly? I was under the impression that routing protocols are standard across the board and that there aren't too many devices out there for networking that stray away from industry standards. Any insight into this? Thanks, Will1.2KViews0likes1CommentConnecting M4300 to GS752
I just added a M4300 12x12f switch to add 10gb networking for my Hadoop cluster. The rest of our network is GS752 switches with 4x spf+ connectors on each on. I thought that those ports could be connected to the SFP+ ports on the M4300 switch as well, however when I connect them the connectivity light does not come on on either end of the link. However if I connect one of the standard RJ45 connections to both switches I can get gigabit connectivity between them. What am I missing to connect the M4300 to my network with the SFP+ connections? Is the connection between the GS752 switches not 10gbe? Also I am using DAC for the SFP+ cables, not fiber.1.9KViews0likes3Comments
