• Disable. This is the default mode. This mode disables the Ethernet port
aggregation function on the cable modem. Do not use the LAN 2 port if you select
this mode.
• Enable (LACP-IEEE 803.3ad). The cable modem communicates with the router
or computer that is connected to the LAN 2 port on your cable modem and checks
to see if Ethernet port aggregation is supported on the router or computer. If
Ethernet port aggregation is supported, the cable modem automatically trunks
the LAN 2 port. If not, the LAN 2 port will not pass traffic.
