View Ethernet Port Aggregation Status - NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S User Manual

Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router Model R7900P
Note To get the fastest performance with port aggregation, for wired connections use
Ethernet port 3 for the first computer, and use Ethernet port 4 for the second computer,
which allows for speeds up to 2 Gbps with port aggregation. The maximum speed for
port 4 is limited to 1 Gbps.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS equipment with two Ethernet ports such as the model RN100/200/300/500/700
desktop series and the ReadyNAS RN2000/3000/4000 rack-mount series support Ethernet aggregation.
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.
