Tags: #LAG
Model: TL-SX3008F   SG3452XMPP  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I would like to make LAG connection between SX3008F and SG3452XMPP (both running latest stable firmware) via SM5110-SR modules. If I use only one module on both sides I get stable 10 Gbit connection with no drops, ping is stable etc.. If I try to setup LAG connection (in OC300, latest stable firmware) using two modules on both sides it looks OK in Omada but I immediately get lost pings, about 2-3% and everyone is complaining that network is slow. I tried both static LAG and LACP (one switch active, one switch passive), but results are always the same.

 

I tried different SFP+ ports on both switches, different LC cables but results are always the same. If I use single module on each side, connection is always stable, it doesn't matter which module I use from 4 I have or what combination with LC cables I try.

 

Switches are about 80 meters away so DAC cable is not an option.

Hi  @NeoCZ 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

May I confirm your network topology and the specific firmware version of your TP-Link devices?

Did you try to test the modules with the same model SM5110-SR which are in total 4?

By the way, how did you test the network and got the result about 2-3% of lost ping?

I tried deleting and setting up LAG (LACP) one again and now it seems to be working fine. If the problems reappear, I will let you know.

Ok, so after an hour the problem is back. I've noticed CPU usage went to about 50% from 5-10% on both switches after enabling LAG and went back to low values after disabling LAG. 

 

For the first hour it looked normal, ping was OK, responsiveness of network was same as before. After that, network felt sluggish, ping started to show losses from 2-5%.

 

Ping measurement was done using ping command from Windows with /t parameter form one side of this LAG connection to server on other side.

 

Firmware versions are 1.20.12 for SX3008F and 1.0.15 for SG3452XMPP.

I had more or less the same issues between a SX30016F (core switch) and SX3008F. have an SG3428X also lagged to the SX30016F that remained operational.

 

I only had this happen on the latest betas, I resolved to unlagg the SX3008F for the time being till new firmware comes out.

 

SG3428X v1.30 

1.30.17 Build 20260113 Rel.67732

 

 

SX3008F v1.20 

1.20.14 Build 20251226 Rel.60828

 

 

SX3016F v1.20 

1.20.16 Build 20260121 Rel.57953

 

 

 

what i hate about omada is logs: impossible to easily see what happens, logs on the UI are empty or just state xyz device disconnect. nothing else. plus its next to impossible to get logs from the switches.
