Link Aggregation for GS308E

schumaku

I have found myself digging through several forums, articles, and exhaustive Google searches to finally find my way here! This has driven me to my wit's end.

Context:
I parallel imported NETGEAR GS308EPP-100NAS Smart Smart Managed Plus Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switches from states to NZ and have been stuck with getting LAG configured correctly after much back and forth with network engineers in my circle turns out that it does not support Dynamic LACP! which is pointless now as it does not work with OPNsense/ pf sense which is vital as I'm trying to make it all work in tandem with Netgear's own devices.

FYI: OPNsense/ pf sense both support LACP. Clearly, GS308EPP does not.

Other products purchased at the same time:
NETGEAR Cloud Managed Wireless Access Point (WAX630E) | Mesh

Dear Netgear, I was really hoping to get this all up and working in no time considering the ease of use of the new GUI on the access point, switch, and most importantly being insight managed and considering the 2.5gbe switch from you - but this feels more like a concrete wall. 

Would be great if you could point me in the right direction or provide a firmware update that enables LACP (Dynamic) mode, please.

Thanks
