Hello everyone,
I just got a new GL-MT6000 to replace my old FritzBox 5530 + D-Link DGS-1100-08 setup, specifically the D-Link switch was to configured for port trunking to connect two PCs (both running ubuntu with netplan for configuring the interfaces) with dual Gigabit link between each other and another port of the switch was connected to the FritzBox for internet connection.
Summing up:
- D-Link port 1 was connected to one of the LAN ports of the FritzBox
- D-Link ports 3 and 4 were bonded and connected to the first PC (from now on called the "server")
- D-Link ports 5 and 6 were bonded and connected to the second PC (from now on called the "workstation")
After setting up the GL-MT6000 both the available 2.5G ports were used: one for WAN and the other for the workstation that has a 2.5G NIC; the server has two Gigabit NICs, I'm trying to replicate the old setup following as close as possible various guides available on the internet, unfortunately they are either about Multi-WAN setups, about bonding+VLAN, outdated (ifenslave package is no more in the repositories) or even going off-topic because the device used has not multiple network interfaces but a single interface for the CPU and an integrated unmanaged switch.
I need your help to setup a simple 802.3ad Link Aggregation without involving WANs or VLANs, hoping I didn't miss any important detail when explaining my configuration.
