<![CDATA[LAGG link won't pass traffic]]>Sorry if this has been covered already, please share the resource if so.

I have a LAGG setup between pfsense box and Netgear GS748Tv5 using LACP. Pfsense says the LAGG interface is up. I have configured the DHCP server and put in an allow all rule (for now) in the LAGG firewall, and configured the ports on the switch for lacp. But, I cannot get DHCP or any traffic through the LAGG. I followed the pfsense kb and looked up several vids/articles, but I am clearly missing something.

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks.

I can't recall exploring that drop down. Thanks for the tip! I will try it out and report back for sure.

I did this a year or so ago on a couple of my Netgear switches, and completely missed it at first. Check that and post back...

On the switch interface, it's located in Switching -> LAG -> LAG Configuration

Here are the screenshots from the switch

And on pfsense:

I'm sure I am missing something basic, and it's killing me. Lol

SFP or Rj45 link? (on LAG)

My settings look identical to yours.

Which screens would you need?

the Netgear LACP / LAG settings and pfSense logs (interface related)

Like (Cisco):

PRTSCs

I can, but it will be later today before I can get them. Which screens would you need?

no ping between the switch and the pfsense box

Well then it's clear, this is a network construction issue, immerse yourself more in the question of configuring LAG / LACP on Netgear switches

I'm working with Cisco and Juniper and stuff I never had a problem with LAG / LACP settings between the pfSense to switches

can you share PRTSCs?

The switch lacp tab shows the ports on the switch are members of the same lagg. In this case, 2 ports.

It isn't in front of me to get screenshots at the moment.

Hi,

surely the LACP negotiation between pfSense and switch is failed
is there any passage between these interfaces?

Like: PING f.e.?

the DHCP issue can only be considered after this

btw:
what does the switch LACP tab show
