Extend the number of LAGs (Port Trunks)
Hello,
I have a question regarding the link aggregation limit on the TL-SG108E.
I have three SG108Es connected with 2 LAGs: SWITCH0 ==(LAG1)== SWITCH1 ==(LAG2)== SWITCH2
Now I bought an additional SG108E because SWITCH0 reached its port limit and I do not have enough space for replacing SWITCH0 with a biggger one.
So I thought I could add another LAG between the new Switch and SWITCH0 like that: SWITCHNEW ==(LAG1)== SWITCH0 ==(LAG1)== SWITCH1 ==(LAG2)== SWITCH2
This way SWITCH1 has 2 LAGs (Ports 1/2 and 5/6) and SWITCH0 also has 2 LAGs (Ports 1/2 and 5/6). The new switch and SWITCH2 have 1 LAG each. With this setup I do not reach the limit of 2 LAGs per switch!
The problem ist that it does not work. As soon as I connect the 2nd cable for my LAG to SWITCHNEW the port-LEDs start flashing orange and the connection is lost. So maybe I misunderstood something? Is it "2 LAGs per Network MAX" instead of "2 LAGs per Switch MAX"?
Thank you in advance for your patience and possible solutions or sugggestions,
