NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 User Manual

View or change the router Ethernet port aggregation mode
To view or change your router’s Ethernet port aggregation mode:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Ethernet Port Aggregation.
The Ethernet Port Aggregation page displays. The Ethernet Port Aggregation Status
field shows whether port aggregation is active:
•
Inactive. No link aggregation LAN device is connected to Ethernet ports 1 and
2 on your router.
•
Active. A link aggregation LAN device is connected to Ethernet ports 1 and 2
on your router.
5.
To change the Ethernet port aggregation mode, select one of the following radio
buttons:
•
Disable. This mode is selected by default. This mode disables Ethernet port
aggregation on your router. Ethernet ports 1 and 2 can be used as independent
Ethernet ports.
•
Enable (LACP-IEEE 803.3ad). After you connect the Ethernet cables, the router
communicates with the LAN device that is connected to Ethernet ports 1 and 2
on your router, and checks to see if Ethernet port aggregation is supported on
the LAN device. If Ethernet port aggregation is supported, the router automatically
trunks Ethernet ports 1 and 2. If not, Ethernet ports 1 and 2 work as independent
Ethernet ports. We recommend that you select this mode unless your LAN device
can support a static link aggregation group (LAG) only.
•
Static LAG. If your device supports a static LAG only, select this mode. Otherwise,
we recommend that you to select the Enable (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad) radio button
instead.
Note: If your LAN device supports a static LAG only, you must enable static mode
on your router before you connect your device to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on the
router.
