We cover some details of configuring our Synology NAS devices running DSM7.2 here.

Multiple VLANs and Bonds on Synology NAS

Our NAS devices use pairs of ethernet connections configured as 802.3ad LACP bonded interfaces. This approach improves reliability and enhances interface capacity when multiple sessions are active on the same device. DSM supports LACP-bonded interfaces on a single VLAN. This can be easily configured with the DSM GUI.

A few of our NAS drives benefit from multiple interfaces on separate VLANs. This avoids situations where high-volume IP traffic needs to be routed between VLANs for applications such as playing media and surveillance camera recording. Setting this up requires accessing and configuring DSM’s underpinning Linux environment via SSH. The procedure for setting this up is explained here and here.
