GS110EMX how to get link aggregation to work with 803.2ad?

Hi,

 

I am using a GS110EMX-100PES and I am trying to get link aggregation to work.

I tried using a Mac with two network interfaces and also I tried to connect a QNAP NAS with two interfaces.

 

Both, MAc and QNAP NAS, want to use 803.2ad and as far as I understand this is similar to LACP which the switch, according to the documentation, is capable of.

 

However, I am not sure how to get it going.

Do I need to enable the feature in the switch?

 

Any hint is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Add two or more ports to the LAG Membership to the LAG. Then configure the LAG config to LACP, and don't forget to enable the it.

     

    Note: You need two configure two LAG accordingly, one for  the Mac, one for the QNAP.

     

     

    Don't be confused, I have no spare ports so there are no port members here, the screenshot is shown before the config is applied.

    Aside, keep the LACP priority on 128, and the timeout on long - this is standards compliant and does not need to be changed.
