Link Aggregation with D-Link DGS-1100-08

Hi All,

Is this switch any good for link aggregation (LACP) on FreeNAS?

1. That unit does link aggregation according to the manual (see page 32) but I don't see anything there or in the specs that mention LACP or 802.3ad but, being that it is a consumer-grade device, that's probably what it means.

2. You probably don't want link aggregation for FreeNAS. LACP rarely works the way people think it works. You don't magically get double the bandwidth. Rarely is it worth the configuration headache and inevitable disappointment.

Cheers,
Matt
