Hi,

The standard way of doing this is 802.1ax. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC-LAG
It is unlikely your switch supports this.

There are non-standard implementations which come disguised as "switch 
stacking". That's also unlikely to be supported by your switch.

It is probably easier to make this work with a static config, rather 
than LACP.

Best regards,
BK
