Hi Alok Just create a load share group on the NAS. Remember, if LACP is required, you'll need to create single-port LAGs on the mlag ports as well. Brad

Hi,

If the downstream device (e.g. switch, server, etc..) is using LACP LAG sharing on its ports, it will be necessary to enable LACP LAG on the MLAG ports. This has to be done prior to enabling the port for mlag

enable sharing port grouping algorithm addressed-based [ L2 | L3 | L3_L4 ] lacp

(the algorithm needs to match the downstream device)
