      Hello,

      I have my pfsense setup in transparent bridge mode. I have 2 switches on either end, When I try to setup LACP between two switches it does not setup, seem slike pfsense does not LACP traffic pass through. How do I make it work.

      Here is the setup

      Switch 1 ==== Pfsense ==== Switch2
      2 Links from each switch to pfsense.
      Bridge 1 (nic1,nic2)
      Bridge2 (nic3,nic4)

      Normal transparent bridge works fine.
      But when I bundle ports on switch1 and switch 2 the LACP fails to establish.

      The aim is to use pfsense in transparent bridge mode with snort IDS.

      Any insight help is highly appreciated.

          Yeah LACP doesn't work that way. the BPDUs are between the connected interfaces. They don't get forwarded by a bridge.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
