Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 61)

IEEE 802.3ad is a performance technology standard that increases your system's network throughput. It is similar to the
FEC standard developed by Cisco. However, whereas FEC works only with FEC-compatible Cisco switches, IEEE 802.3ad
works with switches that support IEEE 802.3ad. To use IEEE 802.3ad, the Ethernet ports of the NAS appliance must be
linked to the same IEEE 802.3ad switch.
