I would like to connect my two switches via a LAG

Hello,

I would like to connect my two switches via a LAG (Link Aggregation) over two Cat.6 network cables.


Netgear GS750E (Firmware 1.0.1.10) and
Netgear GS308EPP (Firmware V1.0.1.1)


My goal is to increase bandwidth and capacity through load balancing

 

Setting for GS750E under point LAG: LAG type Static


Is there even a distribution of burdens here?


How can I check whether both lines are running in parallel?


Thanks Tobi

  • The GS308EPP does only support static LAG, with a max of four ports by LAG. So yes, no other choice but configure the LAG on the GS750E to static, too.

     

    As we face static LAGs, there is no common LAG indication the LAG is up (or down) the same way as on LACP LAGs.

      Hello Kudo,

      many thanks for your support.


      What is the added value of a static LAG compared to no LAG?
      Are both lines used in parallel in a static LAG?
      Does this give me more bandwidth?


      Thanks
      Tobi
