Hi Eaglehawk,

The GSS116E switch only supports static LAG (see datasheet) compared to the GS108T which is a smart managed switch which has static LAG and LACP support. See instructions on enabling LAG on the datasheet, please click here.

Hello peak59,

I'm in the same boat as everyone above. I made the decision to purchase this particular switch because of the specifications, and then I came across this thread as I just started to build up my Synology. I have a GSS116E and a DS1815+.

I also pose the same question, will there be an update to fix this?
