CREATING AN LACP LAG ON A UBIQUITI UNIFI SWITCH FOR SYNOLOGY NAS

CREATING AN LACP LAG ON A UBIQUITI UNIFI SWITCH FOR SYNOLOGY NAS

Initially, the Synology Bond need to be prepared for LACP (IEE 802.3ad). This can be done via Control Panel – Network – Network Interface – Bonded Interface (if already created, otherwise you need to create one). Select IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation for the Bond interface and apply the configuration. Because the switch is not prepared yet, the Synology will provide an error message which states that the LACP LAG cannot be created. No worries, this will be fixed automagically after…

Hyper-V and PFsense with Vlans

Hyper-V and PFsense with Vlans

Making a mental note, here. I’ve tried visualizing PFsense multiple times in the past with mostly failures. The reason being is Hyper-V and VLANS.

Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName “vmname” | Where-Object {$.MacAddress -eq “XXXXXXXXXXXX”} | Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -Trunk -AllowedVlanIdList “1-100” -NativeVlanId 1 References: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/81161/pfsense-hyper-v-vlans/4 Hyper-V VM Trunk VLANs Posted by virutalisto on May…
