LACP is not working

[Julien]

Could you run

'sysctl -A | grep *your network card driver* - i.e. 'sysctl -A | grep em or igb'

Also 'sysctl -A | grep lacp' - lets see your lacp settings

And post output of each command, em or igb is the intel driver

eee is an energy efficient feature can cause issues on freebsd for nics. By setting 'hw.em.eee_setting = 0' in the tunables will turn this off for all nics.

Also what is your lagg settings on your opnsense? - have you tried loadbalance mode?

also on opnsense, lets see the lacp debugging

'sysctl net.link.lagg.lacp.debug=1' - then share the system log - 'clog /var/log/system.log'


IMAHO: It seems someone else has the same issue as you on pfsense - https://forum.netgate.com/topic/158534/lacp-not-working/79 - and thats a brocade switch.

thank you for your answer,
this the log on t he system.log

I am not sure what to do here

do. you mean to run sysctl -A | grep em or igb01 if the interface is igb01.
or you mean I have to run it on the lag interface?

like this ?

We have contacted the switch support team and the issue appear to be on the switch and the way it deal with the LACP.
They are aware of but not planning on changing anything in the near future as the switch is out of support.

I have configured the long timeout on the LAG interface but it not showing it on the interface.
anyway I can force that on the lag interface?
