Hello Everybody,
I am quite new to FreeNAS 11 (9.10.3Rc3) and my profession has nothing to do with networks or infrastructure in general so please bear with me if i don't use the correct terminology.
My system has 2 physical network interfaces, (igb0 and igb1) that after a fresh installation both work somehow on DHCP, and are plugged into the same network switch that does not have the capability of link aggregation. So, I set a static ip and subnet mask to igb1 (192.168.0.3 / 24) and igb0 leave with the DHCP settings.
I can access the interface on the static ip as well as the dynamic ip, which is fine. I am aware that it is not good networking practice!
Q1: Is there a good practice on how to proceed from here?
If i deactivate one of the NICs, by unplugging a cable or deactivating it in the bios, i run into the following problems.
I have 3 jails running that connect to bridge1 together with igb1. Also a byhyve VM is running that automatically creates a bridge0 and tap0 interface, in order to be accessible to me i need to connect an interface to bridge0, but igb1 is already in use. So inorder to get on the line i can either create a vlan01 adapter and connect that to the bridge0 or delete/destroy bridge0 and connect tap0 to bridge1? Anyway after every restart i have to manually connect tap0 again..
Q2: whats the way to do it appropriately?
Eventually, i'd like to get a switch with link aggregation.
Which would leave me in a way
Q3: is that alright?
What i am currently running is of course the worst possible solution.
* both 192.168.0.X/24
cheers and thanks

Code:
igb0 -- --- vlan0 ----- bridge0 --- tap0 to tapN .... from bhyve VMs >--- lagg0 ---< igb1 -- --- vlan1 ----- bridge1 --- epair0a to epaiNa ..... from jails
What i am currently running is of course the worst possible solution.
Code:
igb0 (dynamic)* ----- bridge0 --- tap0 to tapN .... from bhyve VMs igb1 (static)*----- bridge1 --- epair0a to epaiNa ..... from jails
cheers and thanks
