How to trunk or LACP 2 ports on the Zywall VPN300
I want to trunk 2 LAN ports on the Zywall VPN300 to a XS1920 12port switch
There's no LACP section on the zywall, and the trunk section only refers to WAN interfaces
How can i do this?

If supported you would see a LAG tab in Interface so the VPN300 don't support the LAG you need, see page 29.

You can run a static LAG by bridges but I don't think that will help you.
well i guess it can't be done. i wrote an email to support just in case. way cheaper routers from other brands allow to trunk interfaces on the lan side.
HI jjimenez I'm not familiar with the zyxel xs1920 switch however it is an L3/L2 switch nBaseT by the looks.
This might assist in some way or show others how it may be done.
Perhaps this also should be in the SWITCHES forum
What we did with USG110/x60's and Zyxel GS2210 L2 switches with LACP.
However we have implemented LACP with zyxel USG110 / USG60's appliances using the zyxel GS2110 switches (24 / 28 ports) with great success.
Here's the coarse overview of what is we did to do this with 1xGbE groups of multiple NICS for these hosts.
Assumptions to your xs1920 switch (apologies - don't know much about it)
You have already:
Here's what we did to get LACP up and working (great BTW) - this is our LAB setup :
ZYXEL USGxxx router:
L2/3 Switch (we use zyxel GS2210)
Here's the simple VLAN(vlan95) in the switch - uses the USG60 router for DNS, DHCP etc
Here the LACP/LAGG trunk
this is the LACP / LAGG set up for a couple of hosts.
Subtle extras for Host clients : jumbo frames, FreeBSD LAGG and MAcOS Create BONDx
FreeBSD -
MacOS -
Lastly - performance vs availability?? FWIW
Performance: frankly the same a a single cable (you have nBaseT so it will fly)
Availability : with LACP/LAGG roundrobin is excellent for high transaction - else not worth doing .
This is the basics using the L2 switch for the LACP/LAGG and NOT the USG appliance
Ours Cases/Application: we use this VLAN with LACP for large transfer of rich media material (cxomppoits, masters, animation etc) to:
(yep maybe time to go full nBASEt lol ? )
HTH , is of some help. One could write a small booklet on this lol! ?

Hi @jjimenez ,
Welcome to Zyxel community. ?
The VPN300 does not support the LAG function. For LACP(802.3ad) scenario, it must enable on both side. We will evaluate it and implement it in the future once it is confirmed.
