NOTE:The switch port connected to interfaces that are assigned to NAS bond interface should be configured to accept NAS management VLAN as untagged and NAS data VLANs as tagged.
A sample Cisco Nexus switch configuration:
interface ethernet1/1/4
  no shutdown
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport access vlan 100
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 200,201
  mtu 9216
  flowcontrol receive off
  channel-group 8 mode active
interface port-channel10
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk native vlan 100
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 200.201
  mtu 9216
  no lacp suspend-individual
  lacp vpc-convergence vpc 8
