Smallest switch that supports Link Aggregation
Hi guys,
I'l looking for a small 5 ports ethernet switch that supports Link Aggregation for redudancy (I am on Mac).
The GS305E looks perfect for my needs but I found opposite informations online whether it does LACP or not. Can someone help me?
Thank you!
After talking multiple times online with Netgear's support it loks like no 5-ports handle LACP so I'm going to get the 8-ports GS308T.
This is the most portable ethernet switch that does LACP.
Thank youy guys for your heklp!

If you look up the data sheet for the GS305E, it doesn't support link aggregation.

Both the GS305E Tech Specs and the GS308E Tech Specs in the Web as well as the GS305E and GS308E Data Sheet are "correct" and fit your observation:
