pfsense lag
Hello I've got LAG working for our 11 linux machines. I am having trouble getting pfsense [ uses freebsd ] lagg working. I've tried 3 diff has modes - 3- src/dest mac.. , 6- src/des...

OK the solution for us was to use teo of the same model nic.
Use em0 and em1 nics instead of two different models [ re1 and em0 ]. I assume re0 and re1 would work.
And the information posted by LaurentMa is exactally how to configure pfsense lagg to work with our netgear switch.

Thanks for letting us know this works fine now. This post will be of great use for the Community, now that PfSense solution has become very popular. NETGEAR Fully Managed switches with IP and TCP/UDP hashing (6th LAG setting, Static Mode disabled for LACP) offer perfect interop. M4100, M4200, M4300 and M6100 models are best way to go here.

Just curious as to why M5300 series is not ideal or why those are better for connect to pfsense .
