    Hi 0bones,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    GS116Ev2 is only capable of static LAGs.  You can configure 8 static LAGs with 2 to 4 static LAG members on this switch.  Kindly check pages 2 and 6 of the data sheet here as reference.

     

    You may want to consider using NETGEAR Smart switch models (like the GS108Tv2 or GS110TP) instead of the GS116Ev2 (which is a NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus switch model).  Its because, it is more recommended to configure LACP instead of static LAG between a switch and a NAS.  

     

    Check this link for standalone smart switch models.  Consider the smart switch models having a "GS" prefix because that denotes that it is Gigabit Switch.
