Hello, I recently purchased a RB450G and a Netgear managed switch. The netgear switch I bought supports the 802.3ad LACP. What I have done is taken ports 2-5 (four ports total) on the router made them apart of a bond
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="Master" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:53:FD:E7 arp=disabled
slaves=BOND1,BOND2,BOND3,BOND4 mode=802.3ad primary=none
link-monitoring=mii-type2 arp-interval=100ms arp-ip-targets=0.0.0.0
mii-interval=10ms down-delay=3ms up-delay=3ms lacp-rate=1sec
transmit-hash-policy=layer-2
and the first four ports on the switch and create a port-channel
(GSM7248) #show port-channel all
Port- Link
Log. Channel Adm. Trap STP Mbr Port Port
Intf Name Link Mode Mode Mode Type Ports Speed Active
------ --------------- ------ ---- ---- ------ ------- ------ --------- ------
lag 1 CoreA Up En. En. En. Dynamic 0/2 Auto True
0/4 Auto True
0/6 Auto True
0/8 Auto True
right now everything is working. However when I start my testing of the failover capability, the port does fail over to the other three, but if it comes back up, it will not be joined back into the bond unless I disable and reenable the BOND port.
Also, if i reboot the router for any reason, the BOND port will not work. I have to again, disable the bond port, and reenable it.
I’ve tried several small changes, i.e. changing the mii-type from 1-2 and back… I’m mostly curious if anybody have seen this problem before. and if so what their fix was.
