GS116v2 and IEEE 802.3ad
I have an old 16 port net gear GS116vs ethernet switch that is several years old. My question; does it support the Link Aggregation Group protcol, IEEE 802.3ad ?? Thanks in advance for your help...

No idea what C1-C16 means in this context - this would be a GS116E or GS116Ev2.
According to the fine Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches User Manual p.51 ff.

Set Up Link Aggregation Groups
Note: Static link aggregation (port trunking) is supported on models GS116E, JGS516PE, JGS524E, and JGS524PE....
Note: The switch does not support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) groups but supports manual static LAGs only.

Yes, this is one of the modes to be used on a host for a static LAG.
