    I don't know about Cisco, but in general there's not much to configure.

     

    On the NAS side, you can set the hash method, but that doesn't need to match the Cisco config.

     

    On some switches, the LAG MTU can be set differently from the port MTU - not sure if that applies to Cisco or not.  If you aren't using 1500 as the MTU size in the NAS, maybe research that one.

      I was thinking of something like this:

       

      VLAN that the Netgear is on is 45, so I have questions about the actuall configuration such as does the VLAN have to be native for the netgear to see it? And with it set to active will the Netgear REady NAS be able to form the bond.

       

      interface Port-channel30
       description Uplink to NETGEAR-READYNAS
       switchport
       switchport trunk allowed vlan 45
       switchport mode trunk

       

      interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4
       description TO-ETH1-READYNAS
       switchport trunk allowed vlan 45
       switchport mode trunk
       channel-group 30 mode active

       

      interface TenGigabitEthernet2/1/4
       description TO-ETH2-READYNAS
       switchport trunk allowed vlan 45
       switchport mode trunk
       channel-group 30 mode active

        So this is more about the combination of VLAN tags and LACP (I think).

         

        I don't think this should change anything - though I generally keep my switch ports untagged unless they are carrying more than one VLAN.
