Drops the three 802.3ad bonds in favor of plain tagged bridge ports for the lab SFP+ links; VLAN 30 tagged on ports 1-7. Host side pairs this with active-backup bonds (fleet#4).

Root cause of the dead LACP/datapath (session 010): the E810 hosts never receive switch-to-host frames at the PHY level - ice driver in Safe Mode (no DDP package in IncusOS images) with 'Requested FEC: RS-FEC, Negotiated FEC: NONE' on 25G DACs forced to 10G. lab->switch works; switch->lab does not, on all six ports. RouterOS exonerated (verified on both 7.16.2 and 7.24; the 7.24 upgrade stands). Applied live via two-step (destroy bonds, then create ports); post-apply plan clean.

LACP never converged: the E810 hosts run the ice driver in Safe Mode
(IncusOS ships no DDP firmware) and never received switch LACPDUs
(PHY-level RX blackhole: 25G DACs at 10G, hosts request RS-FEC, switch
negotiates none). Hosts move to active-backup bonds; the switch needs
no LAG - six plain bridge ports with VLAN 30 tagged, mirroring the
proven nas01 port 7 configuration.
