Synology LACP Setup - Link Aggregation

In this video, we are going to setup Link Aggregation (LACP) with in Synology DSM. Our test device will be DS918+ configured as Balance XOR (Static Link Aggregation) connected to a TP Link TL-SG108E Easy Smart Switch.

Can you use link aggregation between 2 directly connected NAS?

Do i need link aggregation if i have 10 gbe connection direct to my PC? (I have a MacBook that needs to access synology at fast speed as well)

I'm confused about the 2nd part- Do I need to buy a managed switch vs. an unmanaged switch maybe? I currently have a netgear GS308, which is an unmanaged switch, so I don't really have any idea about how to manage its settings or which ip to use to access it.

Hello I am facing problem in ping drop after configure my 4 LAN bond in dynamic link agrigation synalogy sd 1621 .why it happening? I am using Cisco 350 28 switch.

I am using the Synology DS715 (it has two 1GB lan) and my PC has only one 1GB lan, do you think I would benefit the link aggregation by connecting them with a switch? Thanks :)

another noob question, let say I've setup Plex in my living room and always stream(direct play) local files from my NAS via ethernet cable, at the same time I'm accessing my NAS through my pc, does LA benefit my setup ? hope u understand my question =D

IEEE 802.3ad connection failure, stuck at 115 Mbps on D720+

Hi everyone,



Here you go, I hope you can help me.

I have a fixed PC in Wifi 6e.

I have a Netgear RAX500-100eu, in Wifi 6e 6ghz

Under Nperf I am at a DL rate of 1600 Mbps and UP at 680 Mbps.

I have a DS720+ with 10GB of RAM (8+2 soldered), 2 x Nvme 970 evo plus SSD in 500GB, and 2 x 6TB IronWolf Seagate.

On my router, when I switch on the port aggregation in LACPIEE 802.3ad it stays inactive and my NAS stays in 1000Mbps.

On the other hand when I put my router in static aggregation it is "active", my NAS is set in balance XOR static link aggregation (so not LACP), it is well then in 2000mbps FULL DUPLEX MTU 1500 with a single IP.

However, when I do a file transfer I am blocked) 115 / 120 mo/s ...

I do not understand

115 MB/s is less than 1Gbps. It's 920 mbps.
