ProSAFE Wireless Controller Enable Link Aggregation on a WAC740 Access Point Setting up a static link aggregation group (LAG) connection between a WAC740 access point, a switch, and a wireless controller involves the following steps: 1. Connect both LAN Ethernet ports on a WAC740 access point to a switch. For more information, see the ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless AC Access Point Model WAC740 Hardware Installation Guide, which you can download by visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com. 2. Configure link aggregation on the switch. For more information, see the documentation for your switch. If you use a NETGEAR M4200 ProSAFE Managed Switch, see the M4200 and M4300 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches Web Management User Manual, which you can download by visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com. Note: The overall link aggregation throughput is 2 x 1 Gbps (2 Gbps). If, however, one of two LAN connections fails between a WAC740 access point and a switch with Static Lag configured on both, the redundancy protocol prevails and the link throughput drops to 1 Gbps. 3. Configure link aggregation for the WAC740 access point on the wireless controller. For more information, see Change Access Point Information on the Managed AP List on page 170. 4. Enable link aggregation on the WAC740 access point itself. For more information, see the following procedure. Note: The WAC740 access point supports a manual static LAG only. The access point does not support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) groups.  To enable link aggregation on a controller-managed WAC740 access point: 1. Find the IP address of the access point on your network. For more information, see Manage the Managed AP List on page 167. 2. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point. A login window displays. 3. Enter the user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
