LAGG with GS752TP and pfsense
I'm trying to get LAGG working between my pfsense box and GS752TP but it's not functioning properly.
When I have the settings to what I think are correct, the connection to the router breaks an...
Issue resolved. It was a VLAN assignment issue.
There is a visual selector called TRUNK below the PORTS area in the VLAN settings.
Individual port trunks must be removed as members from the VLAN settings which are to be used as LAGG trunk members. And then add the LAGG group number to the specified VLAN's back as appropriate trunk member(s). Also the LAGG itself must be an untagged member of the base (1) VLAN, as well as the indivudual ports (but they cannot be trunks).
As a side note, my old pfsense traffic shaper settings were causing internet issues and bugs within pfsense after the proper LAGG config was set. THe traffic shaper settings had to be removed.
My bad 
That forum thread should have been corrected way back (shrinking at my seat right now). LAG should work on SFP ports of both GS752TPv1 and GS752TPv2.
I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support and got a feedback. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, try using Hash Mode 6 again then get the tech support file from the GS752TPv2 switch if it still does not work. Afterwards you got the tech support file, kindly open a chat or online support ticket with NETGEAR Support then attach the tech support file for it to be analyzed by the engineering team.
Also, please indicate the model of the SFP module being used. Check on errors or logs on the pfSense side as well to show why it does not work.
Kindly refer to the article below on how to get the tech support file on the GS752TPv2 switch:
