Lee B Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi all, I'm trying to find info on the best setup for unraid and lacp with a managed switch, I have tried balance-rr and 802 Quote Link to comment
miniwalks Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 802.3ad Link Aggregation (LACP)Will give up multiple links for higher throughout (if clients and server can handle it) and will auto handle link failuresYour managed switch will need to support LACP for the Link-Agg signalling HTHSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Lee B Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have a TP-Link TL SG2008 Smart switch which does support LACP but not sure what are the best settings to use Quote Link to comment
miniwalks Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 From looking at the manual for the SG2008, it’s fairly straight forward (I have one of these but it’s unused now)GUI MenuSwitching -> LAG -> LACPSelect the ports you want to useLeave Admin Key aloneChange mode to ActiveEnable LACP on the portSave ConfigDoneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Lee B Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) I have had that settings for a long time but when I check unraid it shows the (LACP rate: Slow) and I only copy files via network at 30-45mbps Edited November 8, 2017 by Lee B Quote Link to comment
miniwalks Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Can you show me a screenshot of the “LACP rate:slow”?A single copy won’t be able to use more than a single link. That being said, what’s your UnRaid config look like? There may be a disk bottleneck going onSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Lev Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Please attach diagnostics, suspect same bottleneck as @miniwalks but need more data. 1 Quote Link to comment
unevent Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 For balance-rr you will only see greater than 1Gbit with a Linux client - it will not work in Windows except for Windows Server. Also, even with Linux you will suffer throughput issues with smb transfers due to the out of order packets and the congestion control kicking in. NFS is better and I can get 2Gbit transfer speeds. It needs switch support - trunking/link aggregation. Mode 4/802.3ad I believe will not get you faster than 1Gbit on a single copy/transfer, but you can have multiple 1Gbit transfers taking place depending on the number of members in the group. Infiniband/2.5/5/10G Ethernet is about the only real way to get faster than 1Gbit with Windows. Quote Link to comment
Lee B Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 1 of my drives says its SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s but -> (current: 3.0 Gb/s) any idea why this would be? Attached in of the network settings Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 hi I trying to get Lacp to work with unraid and my srw2006 switch. I set the switch to 5 ports and check LACP for each one.. so they set and when I set unraid to bonding 4 for link aggression im locked out of unraid.. it cant get a ip address just 169.. so to fix I gotta pull the usb stick ending the network.cfg and change bonding to 0 from 4 so I can re access it.. but what you gotta do to to get the link aggression to work Quote Link to comment
