In the video below Tom (Lawrence Systems) explains it clearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Dpuu_gBmo
Only I don't understand where he gets the ip address from when adding a new interfaces to bind igb0 and igb1.
When I use any ip address, though in the correct range.
It comes up saying it is already in use.
As an example a random ip number:
The default connection for igb0 is: 150.180.2.22/30
Igb1 is connected but has no other ip address.
If I create an ip address like 150.180.2.24/30 in the new interfaces for link aggregation it would be in use.
No matter what I enter everything would be in use.
I also get this message when I want to prefix igb1 itself with an ip number.

You need to remove any IP address from all member interfaces, first. Don't worry, this won't be performed until you get back to the top menu of the interfaces setup and click on "Test". You won't lock yourself out. Remove from igb0, create lagg, assign IP address to lagg, click "Test".
Reconfigure your switch (quickly!), regain access, click on "Save" to persist the changes.

Thanks for your help!
It took some time to get it working.

I only got it working with the LAGG setting ROUNDROBIN.
And by creating three Tunables.
As explained in this movie:

The switch: TP Link Tl-SG108PE does not seem to support LACP. What does is not known anywhere.
