[How-To] Link Aggregation/LACP on RT-AC68U/W/R/P

[halfrican]

not trying to hijack this thread, but, has anyone been able to confirm or deny that the AC-3200 is capable link aggregation using this LinkAgg script? I have tried without success to get it working, script says bonding complete using either ports 1 2 or 3 4 but when set the switch appears to crash as it is no longer visible in gui's network map (none of the wired connections show regardless of port).

Hello! I've read through the thread but am confused on what set of commands I should use for my AC-87U.

My ISP sends both IPTV and Internet traffic over a single RJ45 port from the Fibre Terminal. This is currently configured on the AC87U as the ISP profile, Singtel-Others. (IPTV = VLAN 20, Prio 4 ; Internet = VLAN 10, Prio 0). IPTV on LAN4.

I bought a Netgear JGS524Ev2 switch which has support for 802.3ad link aggregation and am looking to have ports 1 and 2 on the AC87U teamed to ports 1 and 2 on the JGS524Ev2. How should I go about this?

I'd also like to know if anyone has got the LACP/LAG to work on 3200 too!

I can't seem to get this working between my Asus RT-AC68U and my Cisco SG300 switch. According to the Web UI of the SG300 Link Aggregation (LACP) should be active with one port as active and the other as standby.

But I get no communication between the router and the switch and running cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 gives me this;

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.0 (June 2, 2010)

Bonding Mode: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation
Transmit Hash Policy: layer3+4 (1)
MII Status: down
MII Polling Interval (ms): 50
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0

802.3ad info
LACP rate: fast
Aggregator selection policy (ad_select): stable
bond bond0 has no active aggregator

Hello; I would like to connect the AC68 to a switch that has 4 upload lines. (TP-LINK TL-SG3424)
Reading through this thread I've not seen someone post a configuration for all 4 lines have LAG for a 4GB connection. I do understand that a 4GB LAG is overkill for anything I'm doing now, however is it possible with this AC68?

The new house I bought has been pre wired with every room have x2 Coax and x2 Ethernet. I plan to wire the Ethernet connects (16) into the TP Link Managed Switch. From this thread getting 2 LAG ports up and running would be just fine. Our area will be moving to 1gigabit internet soon. I would like to have the full internet speed coming in, along with full wireless speed, going to multiple clients.

Thoughts?

Is your lacp now L2 and no more L3+L4 ?
Why do you use slow there : LACP rate: slow ?
Thanks !

I am having similar problems with LACP my ASUS on merlin's newest 380.67_beta2 and my Synology DS1513+. At some point in the past, it was working but I, unfortunately, do not know when it stopped. It could have been months due to recent work travel. Hopefully, you guys can offer similar assistance if possible.

MY SETUP
ASUS RT-AC5300 - Teaming is built in on ports LAN1 and LAN2
Firmware - Merlin 380.67 Beta 2
Synology DiskStation 1513+ - Also using ports LAN1 and LAN2
All cables are cat6 and tested working

I have gone through a slew of attempts to get this working again with no success. I have tried stock firmware, the custom teaming scripts for merlins firmware, tried remapping ports for different LAN jacks, etc. Before I came here, I have completely reset the router with latest ASUS firmware and then moved to Merlins latest 380.67.

Sorry everyone, I am beginner, I open putty & access,but how to edit the script?
"Step 2 - Create/Edit services-start script

Include the following code in services-start script located in /jffs/scripts/ (you will need to create this file from scratch, if you haven't done so already, with the right permissions)"

what is from scratch?is it a program?
after this use WinSCP copy to router?

thanks so much for everyone.

so i use the notepad++ to create "services-start.sh" & "friewall-start.sh", then use WinSCP copy to /jffs/scripts/.
then use putty commend "reboot" the router, but not success.(i am using ASUS ac68u & NetGear GS110T)
is any step i missing?(sorry, my english is no good)
anyway thanks for reply.

Hello,

Is there a way to create 2 aggregated connections? e.g. one on ports 1 & 2 and second on 3 & 4 so that I can have 2 NAS devices that could communicate with each other on 10GbE?

I don't know. But if it were possible you'd only get 2Gbps for each aggregated link not 10Gbps.

I successfully setup a 2-port link aggregation between RT-AC68U (with the latest firmware 384.4) and QNAP NAS (firmware v4.3.4.0516) by following the method 2 of the asus merlin wiki (Ref 1).
QNAP recommends using Layer 2+3 (MAC+IP) hash. So, I change the services-start script as follows (no other modification is made).

echo 2 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/xmit_hash_policy ip link set bond0 up

No performance impact on WAN speed is observed. All other functions appear normal.
In the process, I learn more about the inner working of my router ports (Ref 3, 4 & 5)!

Thx for making all this information available online!! Nice job!

You're welcome.

@gekko44 I don't believe it would work without modifying /etc/modprobe.conf which requires changes to the source ie. add modprobe to postconf feature with the following appended to modprobe.conf

alias bond0 bonding
alias bond1 bonding

Reason: calling 'modprobe bonding' manually adds a single bond0 interface and you require 2 bond interfaces. Furthermore, firmware's modprobe command lacks -o option support which is used to load multiple bonds ie. modprobe bonding -obond1 .. So setting multiple bonds manually is out of the question without changes to the firmware's source.

Your best bet is to connect those 2 NASes via LACP enabled links to a LACP-capable switch and connect the switch via LACP enabled links to the router.
