Port aggrega on and linking LAN ports
Seagate NAS OS supports port aggregation for NAS devices equipped with two or more LAN ports. Review
the instructions below to learn how to configure your NAS for port aggregation.
Important info on connecting multiple LAN ports: When connecting both LAN ports to one or

more routers, make certain to configure your NAS OS device for multiple networks, load
balancing, or fault tolerance. Leaving all ports active without creating a bridge or bond can create
problems with the NAS OS device's network identification, potentially losing its IP address.
Port aggrega on: Bridge the data on your NAS OS device between
two networks
Two separate networks can share the NAS. Connect LAN 1 to the router on the first network and LAN 2 to
the router on the second network.
Both LANs should have green circles in the Status column. If one of the LAN ports is not active, try to enable
it in the Edit menu.
With a bridged connection, each LAN port should have its own unique IP address to reflect separate
networks. You can confirm the bridge by checking the subnets of the IP addresses. The subnet is the third
segment of numbers in an IP address. For example, the subnet of the address 192.168.3.20 is 3.
Port aggrega on: Enhance your NAS's performance with load
balance
Configure both Ethernet ports to act together for speeds up to 1.5 times faster than a single LAN connection.
You also get added security should one of the Ethernet cables or ports fail.
Before following the directions below, make certain that your switch or router supports link aggregation.
1. Connect LAN 1 and LAN 2 to the same switch or router.
2. If one LAN is listed as inactive:
Confirm that it is securely connected to the device and to your router.
Pass the cursor to the far right of the LAN port to make the Edit pull-down menu visible. If the option
is available, choose Enable.
3. With both LANs enabled, choose Link.
4. Select Load balancing and choose Next.
5. Check the boxes next to each LAN port and choose Next.
6. You can give a unique name to the load balance bond in the Name field. This type of Ethernet bonding
will create a unified IP address (DHCP or static). To use a static address, choose Manual in the IPv4 or
IPv6 pull-down menus and complete all the fields. The manual IP address must be consistent with the
values of your network.
