      Hi all,

      Just got a new netw adaptor I350-T4 and i also have the one from my mobo same model T4 => 8 lan interfaces.
      Now the question is this one:
      can i aggregate 2 lan interfaces using the same lan ?
      Like : from pfsense –> 2x lan to L3 microtik sw
                        pfsense --> 2x lan to NAS
      Using the same subnet ?

      pfsense 2.3.4 on Supermicro A1SRi-2758F + 8GB ECC + SSD

      Happy PfSense user :)

        Using the same subnet ?

        This might be going but then all the data from the NAS are running through the pfSense firewall and
        at the moment where GB wise files will be changed and/or stored it would be really hard for the firewall
        if some other packets or jobs will be running there too. I would go another way to get rid of that situation.
        pfSense –- 2 Port LAG --- MikroTik switch --- two Port LAG --- NAS

        So your firewall is not really inside of all routing and the entire LAN traffic is then done and routed by
        the MikroTik Switch.

            just encounter an issue with this setup:
            when donloading torrents or anything alse, it starts fast (like 20 MB/s) then the flow goes down alot till it heats 2 MB/s.
            cpu and ram usage are exactly the same.
            any clue?
