kern/185967: Link Aggregation LAGG: LACP not working in 10.0

[Ben]

Yes, via sysctl and /etc/sysctl.conf

I waited now roughly 20 minutes without touching it but no difference.

No, I only see these transmit messages, no receive.

Thanks
Ben

If the sysctl doesn’t help then maybe consider compiling a custom kernel with it defaulted to 0.  You’ll need to open /sys/net/ieee802ad_lacp.c and look for the function lacp_attach().  You’ll see the strict_mode assign underneath that.  I’ll also send you a patch in a few minutes.  Until then, try enabling net.link.lagg.lacp.debug=1 and see if you’re receiving heartbeat PDU’s from your switch.

My original intention was for this to default to 0, but apparently that didn’t happen.  However, the fact that strict mode doesn’t seem to work at all for you might hint that your switch either isn’t configured correctly for LACP, or doesn’t actually support LACP at all.  You might want to investigate that.
