LACP not working

Well it should work with either as long as both sides are set the same. The switch ports are not showing Exp (expired) which I would expect if pfSense was still using Long timeouts.
I know Long works though.
The port operational state (Ope) is still showing Err:
Err: If there is a peer information mismatch, then that particular port is moved to the Error disable state (Err).https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/fastiron-08095-commandref/page/GUID-06AFF73D-6957-44A5-AF25-3527B2BE1580.html
I would have expected that to be logged still.
Can we see the full 'show lag' output?

on the switch side I don't see any logs showing anything about the LACP but only about the when I logging using ssh ect...
I have change it to long but still shows blocked.=== LAG "LAN" ID 1 (dynamic Deployed) === LAG Configuration: Ports: e 1/1/2 e 2/1/2 Port Count: 2 Primary Port: 1/1/2 Trunk Type: hash-based LACP Key: 20001 LACP Timeout: long Deployment: HW Trunk ID 1 Port Link State Dupl Speed Trunk Tag Pvid Pri MAC Name 1/1/2 Up Blocked Full 1G 1 Yes N/A 0 LAN1 2/1/2 Up Blocked Full 1G 1 Yes N/A 0 LAN2 Port [Sys P] [Port P] [ Key ] [Act][Tio][Agg][Syn][Col][Dis][Def][Exp][Ope] 1/1/2 1 1 20001 Yes L Agg No No No No No Ina 2/1/2 1 1 20001 Yes L Agg Syn Col Dis Def No Err -
We need to see the full output, including the partner info.
The first port there is showing it's not seeing ant LACP packets from the other side.

Hi Steve
What full output are you referring to ? On the pfsense or switch ?
On the switch side it shows only information about who is connected from the ssh and what time nothing else . -
The complete output from
show lagon the switch contains the Partner info and PDU stats at the end which show what is connected and on which port. It also shows the system wide lag parameters at the top on my switch. It would be good to compare those.
Your switches are different to mine though, the output is very similar but not identical.You posted a more complete output here: https://forum.netgate.com/post/947906

Ok so from that we can see that the system ID the switch sees on both those ports matches the ID pfSense has set on it's lagg ports.
However we cannot see the switch system ID. pfSense sees it as:
0001,60-9C-9F-4B-80-8CThat info is at the top of the show lag output from the switch as I showed above:
SSH@ICX6450-24P Switch>show lag Total number of LAGs: 1 Total number of deployed LAGs: 1 Total number of trunks created:1 (123 available) LACP System Priority / ID: 1 / 609c.9f54.14f2 LACP Long timeout: 90, default: 90 LACP Short timeout: 3, default: 3It obviously should match but....
What we can see is that the switch has recorded precisely 0 lacpdus received.

what are you suggesting ?
if i connect a different switch the ports comes online and shows the LACP is fine. -
To that switch or to pfSense?
I have once seen a similar issue to this that was eventually resolved by simply rebooting the switch stack. Something no-one had thought to do because generally switches do not require that sort of thing.
Beyond that I would try a lagg to ports on the same switch to remove the cross-chassis LACP as an issue.
Then I'm out of suggestions. You probably need to get Brocade/Rukus/Commscope support involved at that point.

Hi Steve
I can do the reboot tonight. When I am logged in shut reboot its will reboot both switches ? -
I can't answer that I only have a single Brocade switch. I would hope there is some failover happens. I've never configured that.
Be sure to have saved the running config. Have a recovery plan etc....Steve

I have rebooted the switch stack, but unfortunately it still shows blocked.

I cannot seems to see if lag interface on the pfsense is using the fast or long timeout

The only thing I have not seen from your switch is the LACP ID value. My switch shows that at the top of the show lag output but either yours doesn't or you're just not including it here.
We can guess it's
609c.9f4b.808cbecause that's what the error logs show and the ifconfig from pfSense. But if it isn't that it would be mismatched.Steve

Thank you for your answer Steve,
i have managed to get the 609c.9f4b.808c corrected. it was the second Mac of a different LAG.
i've remvoed that lag and the issue is fixed.
both Pfsense and Switch share the same LACP ID now.
what information do you need from the switch? -
Ah, so the lag to pfSense came up correctly with the 2nd lag removed?
On my switch the first lines of output from show lag are:
SSH@ICX6450-24P Switch>show lag Total number of LAGs: 1 Total number of deployed LAGs: 1 Total number of trunks created:1 (123 available) LACP System Priority / ID: 1 / 609c.9f54.14f2 LACP Long timeout: 90, default: 90 LACP Short timeout: 3, default: 3I was hoping to compare that output with what you switch(es) show. But they are not the same as mine it may not show that.
This seems like it could be something like different lacp IDs between the two switches in the stack. I have no way to test that.

Ok, so it's still down there. Removing the other lag did not allow it to come up?
We see the LACP ID though and as expected it matches what pfSense is seeing.

What lag are you referring to ? Do you mean recreate the lag ?

i am not sure i can follow sorry :)
i havent removed anything and its not fixed yet.
my question was do you meant i have to remove the already created LAG and create it again?
