Link Aggregation with macOS
Hi, I've got two ethernet ports on my Mac mini and have bonded them together with the virtual interface. I've then plugged them both into my GS116Ev2. If I have LAG turned off the Ethernet bond from macOS connects just fine - if I turn LAG on, it disconnects and reports that my switch doesn't support link aggregation. What's going on here? Why are they working with LAG turned off, but not on? Are they even working with an aggregated connection with LAG turned off (is the Mac doing it instead?) should they work with it on?Solved
gs748ts mac based port security
Trying to set up the switch (firmware version 5.2.0.11) as a basic managed switch and the only feature that needs to be enabled is mac based port security. I'd like to statically set the allowed mac address on a specific port. Any other device that connects to that particular switch port should either result in the port being shutdown, or just drop all traffic to / from that port. The user manual (page 6-17) says mac addressses can be statically configured, but I cannot find that option anywhere in the UI. Is this something that can be done with this model switch? What are the steps to achieve static mac assignment to designated port association? Any help would be appreciated.Solved9.8KViews0likes3CommentsJGS524PE how to show mac address forwarding table
The web interface for JGS524PE is clean and simple. A bit too simple perhaps? How can I see the mac address forwarding table? The switch obviously knows this, would be nice for web interface to show it on a tab. If I can't see this, I can't figure out which devices are connected to which ports, so I can't remotely troubleshoot layer 2 issues, or ask remote staff to make cable changes. Yes I could port mirror, and figure it out, but seems a lot of extra work. Can I do some sort of remote STP query on the switch?Solved
