Questions About Ethernet Port Link Aggregation

I have a new Unifi US-16-150W switch that supports link aggregation and my ReadyNAS RN212 also supports this function. I have already enabled link aggregation on the NAS. Do I also need to aggregate the two ports on the switch that the NAS is plugged into? I've looked at various forum posts but can't (or have overlooked) find the answer.

    Hi laurel2k,

     

    Welcome to the community! :)

     

    Yes, you also need to aggregate the two ports on the switch where the NAS is connected. You may also visit this link for the recommended teaming mode that you can select on the NAS.
