Windows 10: Router based Link Aggregation - Windows 10 behavior question

I have a router that supports link aggregation and a motherboard with 2 ethernet ports. I've configured the link aggregation on the router but seeing a strange behavior on the windows 10 side.



Before the link aggregation configuration on the router, both ports on windows show as

Ethernet port 1: Connected

Ethernet port 2: Connected

After the link aggregation on the router

Ethernet port 1: Connected

Ethernet port 2: No Internet



Is this normal behavior on Windows 10? I'm guessing the router automatically manages the two ports and start opening the other one as needed? Or its still technically open and used since it only says "no internet" but it doesn't say "not connected" so its definitely detecting the connection.



OS: Windows 10 Pro

Motherboard: Gigabyte Designare 10G (has 2x10G ports)

Router: QSW-M408-4C

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files.

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
