Netgear WC7500 - ProSAFE® Wireless Controller User Manual

Setting up a static link aggregation group (LAG) connection between a WAC740 access 
point, a switch, and a wireless controller involves the following steps:

Connect both LAN Ethernet ports on a WAC740 access point to a switch.

For more information, see the ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless AC Access Point Model 
WAC740 Hardware Installation Guide, which you can download by visiting 

.

Configure link aggregation on the switch.

For more information, see the documentation for your switch. If you use a NETGEAR 
M4200 ProSAFE Managed Switch, see the M4200 and M4300 Series ProSAFE 
Managed Switches Web Management User Manual, which you can download by visiting 

.

The overall link aggregation throughput is 2 x 1 Gbps (2 Gbps). If, 
however, one of two LAN connections fails between a WAC740 access 
point and a switch with Static Lag configured on both, the redundancy 
protocol prevails and the link throughput drops to 1 Gbps.

Configure link aggregation for the WAC740 access point on the wireless controller.

Enable link aggregation on the WAC740 access point itself. 

For more information, see the following procedure.

The WAC740 access point supports a manual static LAG only. The 
access point does not support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation or Link 

Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) groups.
