NETGEAR ac5300 Network Router User Manual


 
To set up Ethernet port aggregation:
1. If you are connecting a switch, make sure that the switch supports 802.3ad LACP.
You must configure the switch before you connect the Ethernet cables to the router.
WARNING:
To avoid causing broadcast looping, which can shut down your network, do not
connect an unmanaged switch to Ethernet aggregate port 1 and port 2 on the router.
2. Use Ethernet cables to connect a device that supports Ethernet port aggregation, such as a NAS or network
switch, to Ethernet port 1 and port 2 on the router.
3. Set up Ethernet port aggregation on the device that is connected to Ethernet port 1 and port 2 on the router.
For information about how to set up Ethernet port aggregation on your device, see the documentation that came
with your device.
