Title: Moving LAGG(LACP) to a different switch
Post by: morik_opnsense on December 09, 2024, 04:29:42 PM
Hello everyone,
Decisio DEC4040 with 2x25G SFP28 ports (ice0,1) are in a lagg (lagg0) with a switch (S1). Various VLAN subnets and derivative interfaces rules etc depend on lagg0. This lagg is the "main" LAN connection. 100G breakout DAC is used. I need to move the 2 physical connections to a different switch (S2) in the short-term and later in the medium-term split the connections across two switches (S2,3) which are in a vPC configuration. For the short-term move, I have tried the following steps neither of which have yielded a successful outcome:

Start status of lagg0

ifconfig -v ice0
ice0: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 9000

I think I may be missing something basic here. When changing lagg endpoints, does FreeBSD require removal and re-addition of the physical interfaces? Or perhaps some another subtlety I may be overlooking?

There should be nothing in need of change or reconfiguration on the FreeBSD side. Are you sure the ports on the new switch are configured for LACP?

Thank you @Patrick. S2 has the same port-channel configuration as S1. Switch-side configuration can be found below. Initial post is updated w/ it as well.


interface port-channel9
  switchport mode trunk
  mtu 9216

interface Ethernet1/9/1
  switchport mode trunk
  mtu 9216
  channel-group 9 mode active

interface Ethernet1/9/2
  switchport mode trunk
  mtu 9216
  channel-group 9 mode active


For Cisco NX-OS series switches, mode active engages LACP protocol negotiation from the switch.
