Nighthawk AXE7300 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Model RAXE290 Manage Ethernet port aggregation to a LAN device Ethernet aggregation lets you aggregate two Ethernet ports on your router to improve the aggregated file transfer speed. Ethernet port aggregation is also referred to as link aggregation, teaming port, and port trunking. To set up Ethernet port aggregation to a LAN device that is configured for 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), first configure Ethernet port aggregation for LAN ports 3 and 4 on your router, and then connect these port to the two aggregated ports on the LAN device. If you do not configure port aggregation in this order, a network loop occurs, and your network might be shut down. We refer to Ethernet port aggregation for LAN devices as LAN port aggregation. WARNING: Do not connect an unmanaged switch to LAN ports 3 and 4 on your router if these ports are aggregated. Otherwise, a network loop occurs, and your network might be shut down. Figure 8. Ethernet port aggregation to a LAN device Set up LAN port aggregation to a LAN device If you are connecting a LAN device such as a switch or NAS, make sure that your LAN device supports either 802.3ad LACP or static LAGs.
