Setting Up Link Aggregation

[SimssmiS]

Hi,

Im trying to set up Link Aggregation for my Win 7 PC and my Unraid Server

Hardware:

PC:

LogiLink® 2-Port Gigabit LAN PCI-Express Card

 

Server:

Supermicro X9SRL-F (Onboard Gigabit Lan 2x)

 

Switch:

xyXel GS1920-28

 

I tried setting up Link Aggregation on the switch but as soon as i plugged in 2 cables for 1 device, the device became unreachable.

 

I am happy for everyone that tries to Help

Thanks

You need to set it up at all connection points, that means the 4 switch ports (2 LAGs of 2 ports) and on each computer.

OK so i succeeded to set it up on my unraid mashine. But how do I set it up on Windows 7?

It appears you are trying to get faster than 1Gb speeds between your NAS and your computer. Keep in mind, you will still get only gigabit speeds. LAGG is only for load balancing on networks where many users are accessing one server.

found that out the minute you wrote this

Thank you

 

I Think SMB Multichannel is the way to go then? How do I set that up. (followed Linus Video but did noi get it to Work) What do i have to do on the switch Win 7 and unraid.

 

Thank you so much.

From what I know, SAMBA doesn't have full multichannel support. SAMBA is the file sharing program used in unraid.
