Manage Ethernet LAN port aggregation to
a LAN device
Ethernet LAN aggregation lets you aggregate two Ethernet LAN ports on your router
to improve the aggregated file transfer speed. Ethernet LAN port aggregation is also
referred to as link aggregation, teaming port, and port trunking.
To set up Ethernet LAN port aggregation to a LAN device that is configured for 802.3ad
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), first configure Ethernet LAN port aggregation
for the LAN port 1 and LAN port 2 on your router, and then connect these ports to the
two aggregated ports on the LAN device. If you do not configure port aggregation in
this order, a network loop occurs, and your network might be shut down.
We refer to Ethernet LAN port aggregation for LAN devices as LAN port aggregation.
WARNING:
Do not connect an unmanaged switch to LAN port 1 and LAN
port 2 on your router if these ports are aggregated. Otherwise, a network loop
occurs, and your network might be shut down.
Set up LAN port aggregation to a LAN device
If you are connecting a LAN device such as a switch or NAS, make sure that your LAN
device supports either 802.3ad LACP or static LAGs.
To set up LAN port aggregation to a LAN device:
1. Set up LAN port aggregation on your LAN device before connecting it to your router.
NOTE: You must also enable link aggregation on your router before you
connect your device to LAN ports 1 and 2 on the router, otherwise you will
create a network loop.
For information about how to set up LAN port aggregation on your LAN device, see
the documentation that came with your LAN device.
The following steps describe how to log in to your router and enable LAN port
aggregation on the router.
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
