Ethernet Port Aggregation
Ethernet aggregation lets you use the LAN 1 and 2 ports on your cable modem to improve the aggregated
transfer speed. Note that Ethernet port aggregation is also referred to as link aggregation, teaming port,
and port trunking. If a router or computer supports Ethernet aggregation, you can connect your router or
computer to the LAN 1 and 2 ports on your cable modem.
To set up Ethernet port aggregation with your cable modem, you need the following:
•
A service provider that offers an Internet speed that's over 1 Gbps.
•
A router or computer that supports the following:
-
802.3ad LACP
-
Ethernet port aggregation on its WAN ports
WARNING:
To avoid causing broadcast looping, which can shut down your network, do not
connect an unmanaged switch to the LAN 1 and 2 port on your cable modem.
Set Up Ethernet Port Aggregation
