Looking for the Teaming solution

[Eric shang]

Currently, the FreeNAS is connecting to a unmanaged switch on a 1Gb port. I have a free ethernet port on FreeNAS side.

As this switch is unmanageable, I cannot use LACP

Can I just add the free port to the LAGG and set to RoundRobin to increase the bandwidth? I have more than 30 clients are talking to FreeNAS

Were you able to find the answer to your question?

Since nobody more knowledgeable than I (which wouldn't be hard to find) has chimed in, I'll share what I know: AFAIK, the only way to do what you're asking for is using LACP, which would require a managed switch. The only real way to use two NICs together on a single subnet without a managed switch would be in a fail-over mode. Here's some recommended reading (the first two of which are sticky threads in this very forum):
