It appears the interface is filtering out the LACP packets ( slow proto, aka
ether proto 0x8809 ), so the promiscuous mode comes a rescue.

Can you do traffic sniff on one of the lagg member say ql0 ? Please do not
enable the promiscuous mode, you can do that with

```
# tcpdump --no-promiscuous-mode -envi ql0
```

and share the captured traffic ?
