HI,
I've installed the latest FreeNAS to what should be my new file server on a small render farm.
Had some issue on not anymore up to task older Synology 1813+ so figured time to try and upgrade a bit.
Got an older
HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 12 LFF
2 x 676947-001, Xeon E5-2420 6 Core 1.9 GHz
6 x 672631-B21, HP 16GB (1x16GB) DDR3 MEM KIT
12 x 693687-B21 HP 4TB 6G SATA 7.2k rpm LFF
2 x 656362-B21, HP 460W Common Slot PSU
All fine, drives are in ZFS raidz3...
But setting up LACP is an impossible mission.
On Synology it works perfectly fine, enable bond in DSM and setup on switch side to enable ports for LACP and all is happily working.
FreeNAS..
Well first, need to create 1 network interface as tmp one, put 3 other ports in LAG, then switch to LAG one and then remove 1st interface and add it to lag is a bit tedious..but ok I can understand that part.
The real issue is creating LAG group.
Trying to creat inside WEB GUI, adding those other 3 interfaces gives an error message like they are already used or something..
And also I tried creating straight from that FNAS startup menu, I delete all interfaces, create LAG, setup IP and mask, but it starts giving these errors.
Looking around it seems like it requires active LACP and my switch don't have the option to select that. Is that the case and if so... what solutions are there?
Any way possible to make LACP work with my switch

Any other solutions mean either getting a new switch or getting 10 GB card and again new switch...
Got a bit spoiled by Synology DSM I must say, some concepts in here are a bit confusing but figures just a matter of learning and experience ;)
I appreciate any fast help about LACP issue.
Thank you!!!
Attached screenshot of what happens when I setup ipv4.
