Lack of LACP 802.3ad support on your computer, Instead of a dynamic LACP LAG, configure a static LAG on the switch side.

Interesting, per the link I referenced the poster says he resolved it by setting up the lag with lacp on the switch (IE - his changing it from static to Lacp is what resolved his issue). But you think my setting to static will resolve it for me? maybe I’m not understanding a variable. Btw the 802.3ad is supported by computer; the computer is telling me the switch doesn’t support it when I bond the the ports. That said, doesn’t hurt for me to try it. Thanks.

My bad. Of course, newer OS X are supporting virtually unlimited numbers of Ethernet ports to be configured accordingly.
Have mixed-up the port numbering for the links somehow?
- meatball1Mar 20, 2023StarNo worries, appreciate your trying to help.
I got it working. It was user error; a setting I had on the Mac side. Two bonded 10g ports work with the switch. thanks lot.
Edit- you were right in that I didn’t have one of the virtual interfaces checked in the bond on my Mac. Felt very silly.
