This switch is more of an office switch and only supports part of the
802.3ad standard:


            PowerConnect* *2824

    Scalable from small workgroups to dense access solutions, the 2824
    offers 24-port flexibility plus two combo small‑form‑factor
    pluggable (SFP) ports for connecting the switch to other networking
    equipment located beyond the 100 m distance limitations of copper
    cabling.

    Industry-standard link aggregation adhering to IEEE 802.3ad
    standards (static support only, LACP not supported)


So the only way to have some kind of bonding without buying more
expensive switches, is using balance-rr (mode=0), balance-xor (mode=2)
or broadcast (modes=3).
