  • Netgear JGS524E’s 802.3ad Link Aggregation And Synology

    Long time ago, I wanted to configured a Bond on my Synology to benefit the LAG feature of my Switch JGS524E (Netgear ProSafe® Plus). Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Being lazy, I never investigated further. It’s now done: I wrote to Netgear and they confirmed that only Static LAG is supported on JGS524E. Dynamic LAG, required to use Link Aggregation with Synology, is not.

    Concretely, Synology says in documentation that it requires IEEE 802.3ad (Dynamic) Link Aggregation (LACP, 802.1AX). While Netgear told me that the Switch ProSafe® Plus only supports static LAG. And that’s how I learned that static LAG is not LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) :/

    Conclusion I did configure my Synology to use Adaptive Load Balancing and I did disable LAG on my Netgear…
