Can't create LAGG

[dynaguy]

I just start to learn FreeNAS. I am having trouble to create a Lagg interface. In the pop-up window to add lagg interface there is no NIC's show up for selection.

I am using 8.0.3. I read the PDF manual of 8.0.2 and tried to enable the NICs. So first I checked my system:
em0: Intel PRO 1000 PL 82573L (addon card)
em1: Intel 82541PI (onboard)

I also managed to edited both /boot/default/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf, make sure has:
if_em_load="YES"

But I still don't see and NICs for me to add as Lagg interface.

Please help. Thanks!

===================
My NICs info:

em0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x30a58086 chip=0x109a8086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Adaptor (82573L)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
em1@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x13768086 chip=0x107c8086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) rev 5 (82541PI)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

If you've defined interfaces for your NICs, delete them and reboot. Are em0 and em1 now available for inclusion in a LAG?

I had a hell of a time getting lagg to work with my managed switch (netgear) The gui is useless, you will have to use the console, i pretty much followed this....

# ifconfig fxp0 up
# ifconfig fxp1 up
# ifconfig lagg0 create
# ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto lacp laggport fxp0 laggport fxp1 10.0.0.3/24
View the interface status by running:

# ifconfig lagg0
Ports marked as ACTIVE are part of the active aggregation group that has been negotiated with the remote switch and traffic will be transmitted and received. Use the verbose output of ifconfig(8) to view the LAG identifiers.

lagg0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 00:05:5d:71:8d:b8
media: Ethernet autoselect
status: active
laggproto lacp
laggport: fxp1 flags=1c<ACTIVE,COLLECTING,DISTRIBUTING>
laggport: fxp0 flags=1c<ACTIVE,COLLECTING,DISTRIBUTING>

replace with em0 em1 or your nic names.

this configures the lagg for LACP.. use laggproto failover for failover.
