XS708T LAG with two 10G Mac ports says switch doesn't support 802.3ad
Simliar to jdmarlow's post here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Plus-and-Smart-Switches-Forum/Cannot-get-LAG-working-on-XS708T/m-p/2181135/highlight/true#M20138
I've been unsuccessful at bonding two 10G ports on a Mac on the XS708T switch.
The difference with mine is I do have the two ports bonded on the MAC and LACP is turned on the LAG/switch; howover my Mac says my switch doesn't support 802.3AD Link aggregation.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

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?
