Link Aggregation / LACP Configuration

[bwwalk1970]

I am trying to enable link aggregation with LACP and when I save the configuration I get this. Is this an error that means it is failing? The lag is still created bit does not work and shows Media status down. Need more info

Need more info

Yes please provide the minimum info per the forum rules... and also:
Are you connecting to a switch that supports LACP? Are all the interfaces that are members of the LAGG configured identically on the switch side? Were any of the LAGG member interfaces previously configured in freeNAS? Did you reboot after creating the LAGG interface before configuring the IP information?

I will look to see what these rules are

Are you connecting to a switch that supports LACP?
yes, connecting to Dell Force 10 S4810 switches.

Are all the interfaces that are members of the LAGG configured identically on the switch side?
Yes

Were any of the LAGG member interfaces previously configured in freeNAS?
No, the interfaces are a new dual 10Gb NIC I installed into the system
Broadcom Corporation QLogic 57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter


Did you reboot after creating the LAGG interface before configuring the IP information?
No, I created the LAG and added IP at the same time.

Every time I have tried to create the LAG I get the errors that I posted above. I tried creating the LAG without specifying IP as well.

Typically you would create the LAGG at the freeNAS console, reboot the server, then configure the new LAGG interface with the IP information. The error has some python/middleware language so I'm guessing it's GUI related. Try and build the LAGG at the console.

 

[bwwalk1970]

ok. Do you have the commands via the console to build the LAGG, etc? Might save me time from digging through docs

Console, not CLI meaning:

Select option 2) Configure Link Aggregation...

It will walk you through selecting type and member interfaces.

How did the console config work out? @bwwalk1970
