NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 User Manual

To set up Ethernet port aggregation to a LAN device:
1.
Set up Ethernet port aggregation on your LAN device before connecting it to your
router.
Note: If your LAN device supports a static link aggregation group (LAG) only, you
must enable static mode on your router before you connect your device to Ethernet
ports 1 and 2 on the router. See the following step for more information about how
to enable static mode on your router.
For information about how to set up Ethernet port aggregation on your router or
computer, see the documentation that came with your router or computer.
2. Log in to your router and enable Ethernet port aggregation:
a.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to
the router network.
b.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
c. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
d. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Ethernet Port Aggregation.
The Ethernet Port Aggregation page displays.
e. Select an Ethernet port aggregation mode (note that Ethernet port aggregation
is disabled by default):
•
Enable (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad). After you connect the Ethernet cables (see the
following step), the router communicates with the LAN device that is connected
to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on your router, and checks to see if Ethernet port
aggregation is supported on the LAN device. If Ethernet port aggregation is
supported, the router automatically trunks Ethernet ports 1 and 2. If not,
Ethernet ports 1 and 2 work as independent Ethernet ports. We recommend
that you select this mode unless your LAN device can support a static LAG
only.
•
Enable static LAG. If your device supports a static LAG only, select this mode.
Otherwise, we recommend that you to select the Enable (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad)
radio button instead.
f.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
3. Connect your LAN device to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on the router.
