Two ports are aggregated in an LACP bond. The ports run in an active/active mode if LACP is configured. If LACP is not set, the ports run in active/passive mode. Network Attached Storage is only supported with Unified deployments. 1. Establish a terminal connection to the first ToR switch (Switch1). 2. Enter global configuration mode. configure terminal 3.
