Link Aggregation with MacOs

[audiotek]

Hi guys I'm trying to aggregate to modems together. Both are Netgear mvbr1210c Turbo Hubs both from the same provider both are working individually. Im using a MacBook 13" Everything is fine until its time to connect with the Bond0 settings I get this error
"The port on the switch that the device is connected to doesn't seem to have 802.3ad Link aggregation enabled"
I've looked at the QoS on the Netgear and theres no option for 802.3ad link aggregation. Does it mean there's no way to link aggregate with the Netgear mvbr1210c Turbo Hubs?
Could I get it done buy hooking up the 2 Netgear mvbr1210c Turbo Hub into a switch that supports 802.3ad like Netgear ProSafe GS108Tv2 Gigabit Smart Switch? (http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_1045_355&item_id=060930 )

Basically both Turbo Hubs into the switch than one ethernet cable from the switch into the mac through the Thunderbolt adapter?

Link aggregation doesn't work like that. You must use two Ethernet port and they must be connected to the same switch and the switch must support 802.3ad.

By switch you mean the built in switch from the Turbo Hubs? How could I make this work with the 2 modems I have? Would getting the Netgear ProSafe GS108Tv2 Gigabit Smart Switch work? I think from that switch you can select the port to be aggregated.

Switch as in not those hubs. It isn't possible to aggregate to two or more internet gateways on Mac OS X.

I've attached a diagram in my previous post. So what is the purpose of link aggregation on a Mac if you can't have more than one gateway?

It's there so that ones workstation can a faster connection to the internal network. Usually in places where the internet speeds are much higher than 1Gbps. It's also very useful for server environments and it has redundancy.

So basically only for a LAN setup? I guess my diagram wouldn't work?
