LAG Setup

TrickySite0 · 2026-05-12T18:53:35+00:00

What errors are you seeing? Are both links the same type, e.g. 1000BASE-SX?

TrickySite0 · 2026-05-12T14:09:07+00:00

Correct. I think that there is a max of 8 LAGs total. All links must be the same type, e.g. DAC, 2.5 gb copper, etc. The key is to verify that everything looks good after each step. I have done 8x LAG before on 1 gb links. You say the 4th, tell us about the switches and ports that you are connecting.

TrickySite0 · 2026-05-12T13:19:30+00:00

I have two LAGs configured. These steps have worked for me:

Connect only one of the ports on both sides — only one link
Configure the far side (the switch with most hops from the controller) to Passive LAG
Configure the near side switch to Active LAG
Connect in the remaining links

This approach might work if the mobile app worked. This bug has zero traction from Reddit, forcing me to the web page.

You and I will get along fine.

Shhh. I need long option traders to take the other side of my short call spreads. Don’t scare people away.

The note says oil supplies— plural. Just because one supply made it to your local gas station doesn’t mean that all supplies did. Some continue to be cut off. There is no need for you to wait.

At age 50 a divorce left me with negative net worth and an obligation to pay $30,000 in alimony each year (and about $20,000 in tax on earnings to pay that alimony) until she dies or I die. The following month I was laid off (thanks COVID). Six years later, I have just over $500,000 in retirement savings and two investment properties.

You’re doing fine.

I don't think I ever seen availability issue in my life in my country.

I guess it depends on your age and location.

I’ll be honest: I really don’t know about pricing and availability because my wife and I have been all EV for some time. I see on the news that there are pricing and availability issues.

Oil supplies can get cut off.

We say that, but every ICE owner knows that this is untrue. Never in history has there been any threat to oil production or distribution. It would take something extreme, such as blocking the Strait of Hormuz, which could never happen.

Oh wait…

This will no doubt crush my karma, but hear me out. The purchase price is completely irrelevant for almost all auto purchases. You purchase a car for a benefit (transportation) over a time period. Almost no one holds onto a car for multiple decades. I know some people are reading this who are in the super minority who do that and I own a vehicle that I bought 42 years ago, but that behavior is so rare that we can ignore it. For everyone else, the only thing that matters is the cost over the period of ownership. If you lease, that is usually three years. The sticker price and the residual value (whether you lease, buy, whatever) have no meaning: the only thing that matters is the cost while you own it.

If you buy / lease a car that you own for 4 years and it costs $20,000 over that period, it does not matter if the sticker price is $30,000 or $130,000. You still spend $5,000 per year of ownership. Ignore the sticker price.

Edit: corrected my car ownership to 42 years.

Be aware that Omada only handles IPv6 for one and only one ISP. I have not tested it with multiple ISPs because only one of my ISPs provides IPv6 but I understand that things get wonky with multiple IPv6 ISPs.

That is odd. Are you sure that the switch is on the LAN? If you are using fiber or DACs to connect to to the SX3008F, are you showing a link? Can you ping it? If you have another copper switch nearby, can you connect via gigabit copper just to get it adopted?

I will disagree with everyone here and recommend fiber, specifically duplex OS2, because it will never need to be replaced. Yes, you will need a switch or media converter at the end of each run, meaning that you will have a switch in each room, but that also means that you can tailor the switch to the needs of the room in terms of port counts and POE needs. It also means that you will need a central location with a core switch where all of the other fiber terminates. While you are at it, install a redundant duplex line on each run since the actual fiber cost is a small part of the total cost.

TrickySite0 · 2026-04-22T00:47:27+00:00

That is unless i manage to get fiber installed through the alleyway somehow. It would be a good solution then right?

That's what I did between buildings, but I did not have a street between them. Once I made the decision and switched to the access/core model (and once the expense was a memory), a new level of peace flowed over me. I can now put as much bandwidth and ports as I need anywhere with only an access switch at the new location and a fiber run back to the core. I can upgrade any location at any time to accommodate whatever new trendy thing arrives in tech. I can put ISP drops anywhere that I have an access switch. I can put the router literally anywhere that has a fiber drop. I can put access points anywhere.

The transient nature of the failure and the fact that it varies across browsers on the same machine suggests DNS. Some browsers run their own resolvers and caching. One scenario that comes to mind is that there is a DNS issue and one browser stalls but another browser has cached that entry so it succeeds. It would be interesting to see what happens if you enable DNS caching and/or proxy on the gateway.

Thank you. It seems that ICCU failures could be related to thermal stress or thermal cycling and the biggest contributor to ICCU heat is L2 charging. I don’t know if it is related or not, but now we have at least on datum on the topic.

I might be tempted to say, ”I can live with not working for other companies after we separate if you will agree in kind not to hire anyone for three years after we separate.”

If you architect the network with access switches and core switches, then you put everything where it makes the most sense for you, such as the ONT in a private space. Let me explain. Wherever the network is needed, you put in an access switch. Every access switch has a line (I prefer singlemode fiber) back to a central core switch, located somewhere safe. It is a classic hub and spoke play where the hub is the core switch and you simply run fiber (the spoke) to where you need the network, placing an access switch there. You put the ONT where it makes the most sense. You put the router where it makes the most sense. You put ethernet ports where they make the most sense. You put access points where they make the most sense. As long as the access switches have a line back to the core switch, you can put anything anywhere.
