Review on πŸ” Zyxel GS1200-8 8-Port Gigabit Web Managed Switch by Ognian Blagoev ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not all bad, an average quality purchase.

Who needs link aggregation using the 802.3ad protocol - bypass it. Everywhere it is written that there is, and not a word about it in the documentation. Some pros: There is a web interface. You can programmatically enable or disable ports. Loop detection. gigabit ports. Its cons: Link Aggregation, or rather the implementation of the Link Aggregation Group, but not LACP. How much time I spent on Google and on this switch to understand why the mikrotik hex rb750gr3 -> Zyxel -> Proxmox with LACP link on the Intel card does not work. It turned out to be easier - I plugged it directly from the router into the network card and everything flew with a bang. Conclusion: it works only on the principle of Active-Passive or Balanced or Balanced-XOR, but this is all pseudo aggregation.
