LAN aggregation

cougarmaster

Hi all,
Want to know is there a way to aggregate lan in pfsense? If yes how to do it? I need to aggregate at least 2x1Gbps.

Tks in advance

That is one of the features that has been added for 2.0.

Hi Efonne,

Thanks for the reply. So is it safe to say that pfsense 2.0 Beta3 is safe for production or should I wait till an rc is out?

That's been answered in many threads already and can be inferred from the tag "Beta" ;)

Tks Cry Havok and I just downloaded beta4 to try if it works then I'll put into production and cross my fingers nothing real bad happens. :)

You may want to download a new one. There was an issue from a week ago that was just fixed yesteday that may have an effect on the feature you want to use.

For those keeping score, it is exactly this attitude that gets you in trouble as a sysadmin. Although 2.0 beta is pretty awesome, putting it into production without extensive testing and awareness of the open issues still being worked on is a foolhardy enterprise.

Hi submicron,
Don't worry it's only in a test production site with part live :) No harm done just need to show that its possible without incurring huge cost for them. So to everyone reading this please do make sure not to put any beta or untested stuff on production sites giving a bad reputation to any opensource or pfsense. At least let your clients know that this is all beta still.

Tks all
