As a curious related question. Is anyone aware if the RBKE960 Router can simultaneously use the 2.5gbps LAN port for backhaul, and use (2) or more 1gpbs ports for LAG regarding the LAN?

The RBRE960 User Manual mentions the word "aggregation" only in terms of the WAN interface.

This is only a guess, but perhaps a suitable solution would be to find a 2.5GB switch that supports port aggregation.

One port to the router 2.5GB port and two ports to whatever device that supports aggregation over gigabit ports (NAS?)
