Configuring LACP is required for deployments with Network Attached Storage (NAS). Two ports are aggregated in an LACP bond. When LACP is configured, the ports run in an active/active mode. If LACP is not set, the ports run in active/passive mode.
Network Attached Storage is only supported with Unified deployments.
