      You might have to redeploy it. The ports still show S in the Tio field.

      That's not something I've ever tried on this switch.

      Thank you Steve,
      do you mean to remove the ethernets from the lag or delete the lag completed?
      i am getting this error

      Error: LAG WAN is deployed, please undeploy it first.

        It's been a while since I had to mess with anything on this switch but I believe, like that error implies, you cannot make changes to the lag while it's deployed. You'll have to 'undeploy' it to switch to long mode timeouts.

        You could also try changing the pfSense LACP timeout mode to fast (short) to match which might be easier. In 2.5 that's a GUI setting, I'm not sure I've ever set that in 2.4.5....

          Though I note it did not cause the lagg to break with pfSense set as short and the switch as long...

            Thank you Steve,

            do you mean i have to do it also on the pfsensen side too ?

            ifconfig lagg0 lacp_fast_timeout

              It would be better to change that on the switch if you can but, as a test, you can set fast(short) mode in pfSense and that should also match each end.

                Thank you Steve, ive done hte fast timeout on the pfsense unfortunately it still blocking the ports

                on the switch too

                === LAG "wan" ID 5 (dynamic Not Deployed) ===
LAG Configuration:
   Ports:
   Port Count:    0
   Primary Port:  none
   Trunk Type:    hash-based
   LACP Key:      20005
   LACP Timeout:  long

                both switches are stacked maybe forgot to mention, maybe its relevant .

                  Ah, OK. Yes it could well be, have you configured it for cross-chassis lag?

                  I have no experience of doing that with Brocade but I imagine it has to be configured for it.

                  Steve

                    Also check the switch logs. There is likely a reason those ports show as blocked and it should be shown there.

                      i cannot seems to find the cause yet.
                      we are still investigating i am affraid the switch and pfsense are not a good friends.
                      i will try to use a different switch maybe unifi switch L:ayer 3 switch

                        Are you able to test a lagg to a single switch rather than cross-chassis?

                        Or even just connect the ports individually outside of a lagg to be sure they come up as not blocked?

                            It seems like a loop that the switch is blocking then.

                            I would expect to see something in the switch logs.

                              i've been kicking my head down to find the log of the switch.
                              cannot seems how to see them.
                              what are the commands for brodcad switches to see the logs?

                                On the ICX6450 I have it's show logging at least to get basic logs. I've never tried to get more.

                                  i know about the logging but thought i need seperate log check for the LAG only.

                                    Hmm, well I'm not familiar with that peer info mismatch but it doesn't look good!

                                    I would think if you can resolve that it will come up OK.

                                    Looks like this: http://docs.ruckuswireless.com/fastiron/08.0.80/fastiron-08080-l2guide/GUID-6298B5C2-295F-476A-9B99-E465BC0E4B0D.html

                                    You have custom peer info values configured causing the mismatch?

                                    Steve

                                      You have custom peer info values configured causing the mismatch?

                                      Thank you Steve
                                      what do you mean with You have custom peer info values configured causing the mismatch? on the pfbox or switch?

                                        On the switch, as shown in that doc.

                                          i always thought it on the switch, i dont understand about the mismatch value thing,
                                          but i need to do some research to see if i can fix it.

                                            It's possible to set the peer-info value in the switch and that will break the lag if it doesn't match what the peer is actually sending.
                                            Without any peer-info set it accepts the first info it sees as dynamic.

                                            Check the lag config on the switch.
