Hey mate, thanks for the video. I was scratching my head on how to properly do a LAGG for all LAN interface until I found your video. Thanks for the big help.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Could you link the documentation that person had about netgate not recommending untagged traffic on a LAGG with tagged traffic? I couldn't find the comment on your other pfsense LAGG video. Thanks.
You're welcome. I'll try to find it and post it here. I remember it was specifically dealing with LAGGs that tagged and untagged isn't recommended, but don't remember seeing the same apply to normal interfaces. I think the issue is more with the switch configuration and PVID potentially causing unexpected results more than anything. I think pfSense can handle it just fine, and with the right switches and scenario it won't actually cause any problems. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great explanation. Question: Is there a way to re-assign on the XG7100 the IX0 or IX1 (SFP Ports) to the LAGG0? I want to use the first copper port for the WAN which is 1g and the IX0 for the LAN which can be up to 10gig. And then use each of the other copper ports 2-8 for the vlans that exist on the router. THe IX0 would essentially be the trunk port going to the downstream switch which will have all of my vlans on it and I can distribute as needed on the downstream switch. The other 7 copper ports on the xg7100 I would like to assign one of the vlans that are on the trunk port to one of those interfaces without setting up new vlans for the switch ports. There may not be a way, but I thought I would ask. Thanks again!!
Good evening, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I am having issues switching my main LAGG port with my LAN port in that I completely loose the interface once I click OK (as you warned). I have been able to gain access by enabling the initial LAN port with the OPT1 interface and logging in on that ip address. When I do this, the LAN interface that is assigned with the LAGG has no IP address (even tho I assigned it a static IP). I do have the LACP LAGG setup on the switch side and double checked this, and was trying not to configure as you mentioned to not worry about the tagged and untagged traffic. I am new to VLANS and have a hard time setting this up on my switch. Anyway, any input would help. Also, when I try to assign the LAGG a static IP address when the LAN interface is assigned with my single nic port, pfsense will not let me and says " IPv4 address that I am trying to set static is being used by or overlaps with LAN IP address.
Turns out this was a miss configuration issue with the four port nic card and ESXi VMware. All is working as you now without having to tag the traffic. Thank you
Hi, thank you for this amazing video. If I just want to combine multiple LAN ports would you recommend LAGG or LAN Bridge? Which one will have a better performance and can I assign vLAN tags to individual ports so that the switches themselves do not have to be managed switches?
Hello, thanks for the great video. Can you tell me where you saw the recommendation against tagged & untagged traffic on a LAGG ? I cannot find it anywhere and I have asked on the Netgate forums - no one seems to think it is currently a problem. Cheers/Alan
Does LAGG means you bundle 2 gigabit interface ports into 1Logical interface port? I'm so confused about the terms. Right know we have 5interface ports (1on-board LAN, and 4 additional LAN ports) our plan is to connect 2Ports to WAN and create a LAGG port using 2interface ports using LACP. Is this doable?Thanks

Holy sht i think that was my question? Im parked this stuff and found your video doing this again today.. lol Thanks dude.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

Awesome man, thanks for making this video!

I "THINK" this was when researching issues regarding 10Gb Intel NICs (X520 DA2) and HPE networks.

I think this is not possible using LAGG, bonding WAN should have a different protocol to be use.
Hi. After moving LAN assignment to LAGG0, I 've lost connection to the Pfsense.... DHCP doesn't work anymore. Can you help me please? Thanks
