Good morning to all the community,
i'm trying to setup failover between 2 NICs for management purposes.
My Configuration:
Asus P9D-X
Xeon E3-1230v3
16Gb Ram
Intel i218 embedded Dual Gbe NIC
Broadcom BCM Dual 1Gbe
FreeNAS-11.3-U5
For redundancy i need 2 ports connected to 2 different switch (both GS1900-24), if a switch (or a NIC) will fail connectivity must be provided throu the other NIC.
I followed the guides but it seems to not working. Strange thing: when selecting the interfaces aer marked to be members of lagg0 interface but it did not exist, never created before to my memory and i cannot find how to clean this fake interface.
Steps for configuration:
1) I removed IP configuration for both interfaces (igb1 + bge1) so they are available for lagg
2) created lagg interface (name lagg888) with igb1 and bge1 interface (settings attached) and IP configured
3) lagg failover seems to not work (pinging the IP 10.10.10.112 is ok but fails and not recovering if i disconnect the main NIC.
I already has several attempts with vlan configuration (untagged on these specific ports) on switches and also switched both to the same switch to exclude misconfigurations but always same result. Ping fails if main interface is disconnected.
Feel free to ask any other useful information you need.
