A while back, I bought a CRS328-24P-4S+RM with the intention of using it in my existing network to upgrade an existing 8 port switch (Linksys SLM2008) which has no POE.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to install it until now and I have run into problems, which I am hoping someone here can help with.... PLEASE!
I am using SwitchOS
I have now installed the switch with Port 1 set to be on VLAN10 and the management port set to VLAN10 (and other ports configured also). I am able to connet to the switch admin pages.
Everything is fine, until I connect to the rest of the network.
My connection to the network relies on my Uplink being through a 'Trunk' which consists of 2 CATx copper connections back to an old SMCGS24C-SMART.
I had this working with the Linksys!
The SMC switch is one of many in the network an I have no budget to replace them all at this time.
The SMC switch does not support LACP, it just has this rather vague "Link Aggregation" cum "Bonding" cum "Trunking" processing which I have managed to get to link to a multiport RouterOS router in the past by selecting Balance-rr for the bonding configuration.
With this CRS to SMC configuration, I dont seem to be able to find a way to do this using SwOS which means that I am bringing my entire network down every time I try a different configuration.
Does anyone have an idea for me?
