Removing LAGG Interface
-
Hello all! This is my first post and I am new to the forum… I would like to apologize in advance for being a noob and hope you can bear with me through this question.
My question revolves around removing a link aggregation (LAGG) interface that I created with a dual port Intel NIC. This NIC (and both of its ports) is used as my primary LAN Interface and is set to use igb0 and igb1. I have another NIC that is set to the WAN interface (em0)... The LAGG Interface is then connected to a switch that supports LACP and is configured correctly as everything has been working as expected on my network for some time.
The issue I have is trying to remove the LAGG from the interfaces area. I want to segment out the network a little bit and have found myself stuck not being able to remove the LAGG interface so that I can create two independent interfaces. When I try to remove the LAGG I get the "This LAGG interface cannot be deleted because it is still being used." mesage. This makes sense but now I'm kinda stuck not knowing how to remove it? Do I need to add another NIC/Interface so I can connect to pfsense through it and then remove the LAGG interface? Do I need to reinstall pfsense? I was also thinking I could make the WAN interface into another LAN and connect to the router through it so as to not be "using" the LAGG? I would really like to be able to do this from the SHELL but I am a super noob to FreeBSD.
Thank you for your support and time! I hope i'm not missing something really simple.
My System:
pfsense 2.3.3
i3-4170
Asus H87I-Plus (1 x Intel I217 Ethernet)
16GB PC3-1600 RAM
Sandisk SSD now V300 120 GB Boot drive
Intel Ethernet adapter I350-T2 -
I would take the lagg down to 1 member on pfSense. You should then be able to assign LAN to the physical interface that was removed, then delete the lagg.

That worked! I also had some issues with adding it back but i think i know how the link agg options work now! Thank you for your time and for saving mine!
