General Discussion / LAGG Router to L3 Switch - no VLANs
« on: December 19, 2023, 04:42:14 pm »
Looking for advice/comments on installation.
I'm replacing my existing simple Home network. I have the following equipment (over kill for now - but available in future)
1G WAN, VP2404 4 port 2.5G Router running Opnsense. L3 managed switch, 4 L2 managed switches - All switches have 1G ports.
Router currently uses 2 ports - WAN and LAN.
I am interested in optimal access to the Internet (WAN - Router).
Does it make sense to make a 2 or 3 port LAGG from Router to L3 switch --- NO VLANS being used?
If YES - should the LAGG be 2 ports and leave the LAN port on the Router Open or use a 3 port LAGG and not have a LAN port on the router?
For through put between switches - should I consider making a 2 port LAGG between the L3 switch and each of the L2 switches?
Thanks
