Asus RT-AX88U Pro and LAN aggregation

[keef]

I am using 306.102.7_1 Merlin. I configured my Asustor NAS, connected the cables, configured Merlin and rebooted. Everything came back up fine. From the network map page in Merlin ports 1 & 2 show a link but no indication of LAN aggregation. Should it? In my Nas it does show LAN aggregation.

thanks

If the aggregation is set in the NAS then the router will only show the two Ethernet connections just as you see them. I see the same thing with my DS220+ with Bonded LAN ports. Depending upon your NAS setup you could have one or two IP addresses assigned if the NAS gets its IP address(s) via DHCP. However, static IP addresses are better for a NAS...

It should show "Aggregation" somewhere on each port, but I can't say it looked pretty either overlapping or underlapping the LAN #. In fact on Merlin firmware for the GT-AXE16000 it showed Aggregation on a single port, even though I had it disabled. Maybe he removed it?
