      Hi,

      I am using a dual port intel NIC (igb2 and igb3)
      igb2 is configured with 6 VLANs.
      I would like to configure a LAGG with igb2 and igb3.

      Is it possible to just add igb2 without losing VLAN configuration or do I hav to delete all VLANs etc. and then create the LAGG with igb2 and igb3 and then create again the VLANs ?

      Thank you for your help.

        You have to create the lagg, and then create the vlan tags on the lagg. We don't have a way in the GUI to "reparent" the VLANs. Though that would be handy.

        It may need to happen before 2.0 ships though, when this bug is fixed: http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/802

            One at a time, but not as a group, and config restore didn't work last time I tried it.

              Then I will wait until there is a (safe) way to create a LAGG with existing VLANs because it is not really necessary in my scenario.

                Make a lagg with the second (unused) interface, edit the VLANs and move them to the lagg, then once the vlans are off the original interface, add it to the lagg. Shouldn't be any downtime with that. It's just not easy.
