3. Enter the router admin user name and password.

4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Ethernet Settings
The Ethernet Settings page displays.
In the LAN Port Aggregation section, the Ethernet Port Aggregation Status field
shows whether port aggregation is active:
• Inactive: No link aggregation LAN device is connected to Ethernet LAN ports 1
and 2 on your router.
• Active: A link aggregation LAN device is connected to Ethernet LAN ports 1 and
2 on your router.
5. To change the LAN port aggregation mode, select one of the following radio buttons:
• Disable: This mode is selected by default. This mode disables LAN port
aggregation on your router. LAN ports 1 and 2 can be used as independent
Ethernet LAN ports.
• Enable (LACP-IEEE 803.3ad): After you connect the Ethernet cables, the router
communicates with the LAN device that is connected to LAN ports 1 and 2 on
your router, and checks to see if LAN port aggregation is supported on the LAN
device. If LAN port aggregation is supported, the router automatically trunks LAN
ports 1 and 2. If not, LAN ports 1 and 2 work as independent LAN ports. We
recommend that you select this mode unless your LAN device can support a static
link aggregation group (LAG) only.
• Static: If your device supports a static LAG only, select this mode. Otherwise, we
recommend that you select the Enable (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad) radio button instead.
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.
6. If you made changes, click the Apply button.
