Doing them with the enterprise XG and Pro Aggregation on the 25g ports seeing 50G connections is ''fun'' I also have other devices from ui but those are behind nda but.. yeah you can probably tell where those aggregates are running on.... My ''outdoor'' enterprise XG's run with fiber to them and then if there's a need i will interconnect them and let stp do its thing for redudancy
I added it all over the place in the past few months, it works very well. You can have up to 8 connections of the same type in a LAG, so if you have a non-pro POE switch, you can get that up to 8Gbit/sec this way at the cost of using a large number of uplinks. Works perfectly.
I’m just setting up a massive Ubiquiti roll out of gear replacing 15 year old HP fiber switches. Dream machine special edition, 8 port agg switch so far 24 layer 3 switches , 40 waps, 20 antennas and 18 stadium antennas , 20 rps . In a house …… just a small project also 2 starlite dishes one commerciall one. And more to come . Acess controls and cameras
Yet another amazing video. I haven’t done that much routing/switching in decades and have been learning by your videos. Just want to say thank you as I’m a newbie at setting up my biz UniFi network (24POE + UDM Pro SE). I’m happy to report it’s up and running.
freaky, this video popped up in my recommendations the same day i was messing with link aggregation on my synology nas. the perfect video i needed. i had 1 port as 1gig and the other was only 100mb. now i have them properly set up and 2gig aggregation. thank you
Thanks!!!! I haven't managed to configure the aggregation so that it works BUT NOW was able to get it work - first configure the "last switch first" was the right message. Thx again!!!!🤩
As soon as I get my second USW Enterprise 24 PoE switch, I'm going to hook it up to the second 10 GB LAN port on my UDM SE. I guess I will need an aggregation switch if I ever want to hook up both Enterprise switches with backup LAN ports. That way if one LAN port on either switch goes down, it would automatically switch to the other LAN port. Looks like those two purchases will be next year. Once I do that then I can use both 10GB LAN ports on the UDM SE and have them go the the aggregation switch. I would also move the 10 GB port from my UNVR Pro to the aggregation switch as well. Of course, this will require me to rearrange all of my network gear in my rack. Oh joy, joy. What a wonderful rabbit hole I have fallen into. Now to decide which aggregation switch to get! You are costing me so much money. LOL
i am EXTREMELY happy that ubiquiti finally decided to make the second SFP+ port available on the UDM PRO!!! now i have 1Gbps WAN and 10Gbps uplink to my server and 10Gbps uplink to my PoE Switch! next addition to my ubiquiti family is definately the aggregation swtich! Unfortunately only the 8 port Aggregation switch is available in my country! I am using a Dell SFP+ DAC into the UDM then a Intel X520 dual port SFP+ server adapter in my Dell Server… all working 100%
Nice information on setting up a LAG on your Ubiquiti switches. As a tip could I also suggest for anyone doing this, have another port configured on each switch as an 'All' port so that if something goes pear shaped with setting up the lag you can just patch into those ports on each end of the link and regain access to configure the downstream switch from your controller again. This might save you some heartache. In fact if you have enough patches between switches you can plug them in before you make the change and RSTP will block the ports but still provides a great backup if the lag fails to establish. It's a shame that the ports have to be sequential as this limits mixing media types easily and limits the use so plan out your topology before making changes.
You’re right: do we need this, no; do I want it, yes. Have a similar setup but then 50 to the Synology from the aggregation switch. Also 50 to de enterprise xg. 20 from the aggregation switch to the other switches.
Keep in mind that per packet, you’re still only ever going over one of the 10G links. It’s simply an alogo load balancing the packets XOR based on SRC/DST MAC/IP.
"if you're a network geek like me" ... I am indeed sir lol.. I started with Unifi last year and went right for overkill with 10gig Links. I'll be running 10gig out to my garage next spring and I will have an aggregate 20gig link just like you have shown here with an enterprise 8 Poe switch
Great video Mac, really informative. I have a question; is there an option to control and select which device becomes the root bridge with the spanning tree?
Very helpful material for a beginner. I appreciate it! How to enable LAG on Cloud Gateway Dream Machine Special Edition and switch Pro HD 24 PoE (w/o aggregation switch)?
I have LACP set up on a pair of Aruba switches but recently I moved on to unify usw-pro 48 poe ones. Aggregate term on unify terminology is equal to LASP mode only? Because in Aruba you could choose from different modes. Also don t they support SSTP only RSTP? In unify universe is there a relation between LACP and RSTP meaning if you set up the aggregation you need to enable RSTP as well (preventing loops etc)?
When I attempted to aggregate the port for my NAS on the switch, I first selected port 15, the aggreagte operation, and wanted to select port 14, but port 14 was not available. However, when I selected port 14, the aggreagte operation, port 15 was available in the list to aggregate. It appears to me that Unifi Network will only allow port aggregatyion is one selectes the lower numbered port first.
Can u use link aggregation with more than Two Ports? For example three sfp+ Ports on the aggregation Switch to three SFP+ on another aggregation Switch?
Nice video, how about doing a video where there are 2 AGG Pro switches with double links to USW-Pro switches for redundancy! And a 25G AGG interconnection.
I'm getting an error when I try to set this up - This IP address cannot be saved since it’s already being used by ( Mac address that doesn't seem to exist on my network). Please assign another. Any ideas?
Cody, I have the SNAP TS-932X with the 10gb SFP and the UniFi UDM Pro SE with the 10gb SFP. I did the SFP cable from one to the other but also understand the rest of my network is restricted to 1GB. Does that sound correct?
Can you please demo an iperf? Is this aggregation really just two 10gb lanes? When one gets saturated the other takes load? As in you'll never see a 2gbps file transfer speed, right?
I also tested 3 pairs of single mode fibers and it aggregates to 30gigs but the interfaces becomes strange with somes bugs. It show 30000 FDX but on one side all 3 ports are blue and on the other side there is on green and 2 blue...
It's too bad the copper wan port on the UDMs isn't multigig. I had to use one 10gig sfp+ with multigig copper to my modem and the other to the Pro24POE. Might be nice to have that extra link although it's probably not that big a deal.
I wonder, i have no "button" "port management". I have still the "old" ui, but also no updates for my UDM Pro. Are these new ui features only for the UDM Pro SE? **EDIT** nevermind... i found a toggle "new ui"... shame on me
You can do this with the old UI as well jsut need to switch the ports to be aggregate . You must be in the old UI you can go to the new UI going into your settings

Who else uses Link aggregation in there network?

If you want to spam multiple racks of servers without a massive bundle in between, you will create a LAG.

I'm trying to figure out how, I'll be happy with anything over 1GBps speeds
hmmm, well done...that 100k sub is just around the corner. Its great to see your channel grow the way it does!
Excellent guide! As a result, I was able to easily AGG LINK two ethernet ports on my UniFi Pro-24 Switch. Thx again!

bigger number = more dopamine. LAG go brrrrrr
Excellent Video thank you!
Did the NAS show up as a 2Gbps after the configuration in the gui?
This was great, Thanks!
Great video man lots of good info thank you
Thanks 🙏
Well done!
Great video Mac, really informative.
I have a question; is there an option to control and select which device becomes the root bridge with the spanning tree?
I love your video dude!
Thanks Danny

It would be so good, if they finally add mlag ability.

Spot on... A learning experience
You said you linked the UDM to the switch on Port 11 and Port 12, is this a mistake? Or where is port 12? My UDM Pro only shows 11 Ports?
Can u use link aggregation with more than Two Ports? For example three sfp+ Ports on the aggregation Switch to three SFP+ on another aggregation Switch?
if you aggregate 2 ports on a 10gig switch and connect a synology nas also with link aggregation to it. will i have 2 GBIT connection to the nas then?
Let’s gooo
Nice video, how about doing a video where there are 2 AGG Pro switches with double links to USW-Pro switches for redundancy! And a 25G AGG interconnection.
I’d love to do that but only the one agg switch currently
I'm getting an error when I try to set this up - This IP address cannot be saved since it’s already being used by ( Mac address that doesn't seem to exist on my network). Please assign another. Any ideas?
Do you prefer synology or qnap ?

Is this using the LACP (802.3ad) ?
Yep love to see that 20 gig connection even at home…
Can you please demo an iperf? Is this aggregation really just two 10gb lanes? When one gets saturated the other takes load? As in you'll never see a 2gbps file transfer speed, right?

Hi, what software are you using for the topology design and how did you get the ubiquiti products in there?
Hey its called lucid charts. For the ubiquiti products I just right click on the image I want and save it. They are PNG images
I have been waiting for usw-enterprise-24 switch for a while now.
How do you deal with packet loss with spanning tree reconvergence
You make sure you run RSTP and tune your timers :)
@@CryptoXPrime true but youd be shocked in the amount of people who dont do that
Hi there, great Video, question, Whre i can find these stencils for unifi?
Hey thanks for watching
Techspecs.ui.com
I wish the UDM-SE supported Link Aggregation, combining ports 10 and 11.
It's too bad the copper wan port on the UDMs isn't multigig. I had to use one 10gig sfp+ with multigig copper to my modem and the other to the Pro24POE. Might be nice to have that extra link although it's probably not that big a deal.
What software are you using to make networks schema?
I think its lucid charts bro.
Can we aggregate 4 ports in these switches or the limit is two?
You can do 4
What is the program you are using to create the mapping?
Looks like LucidChart
Eat your heart out Cisco! 🤣
I wonder, i have no "button" "port management". I have still the "old" ui, but also no updates for my UDM Pro. Are these new ui features only for the UDM Pro SE?
**EDIT** nevermind... i found a toggle "new ui"... shame on me
You can do this with the old UI as well jsut need to switch the ports to be aggregate . You must be in the old UI you can go to the new UI going into your settings
Until Ubiquiti comes out with a 48port 10G Layer3 switch they will be relegated to small business and prosumer customers.
Ehh 🤷♂️
First !
You’re quick lol
Did I win a unifi wifi 6 LR ap ? :)
Hate the silly faces on your thumbnails
Noted
that's definitely true : "just make me happy" @doge
Thanks to this video, I have just ordered the aggregation switch. Does this architecture look good to you?
