I am running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201504100216 on an HP DL380 G6 with 32G of RAM and Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5667 @ 3.07GHz dual CPU's. The 10G NIC card is a Chelsio.

vendor = 'Chelsio Communications Inc'

The switch is an HP 5820X (H3C). Version information follows.

Right now the switch is set to static link aggregation, and FreeNAS is set to load balance. When it was previously configured for LACP, the second port on the NIC would generate errors from the switch about improper LACP. See the following.

I have switched the transceiver in both the NIC and on the switch side, but the errors continue. I am trying to determine if this seems like hardware (NIC or switch port), but there don't seem to be any other problems. All the errors seem to be around LACP. The other oddity is that the LLDP information from that second interface seems to think there are two LLDP peers there. Both ports connect directly to a single switch port.

I can certainly replace the NIC with another similar one, but I am looking for some direction as to whether this is hardware or software.

No progress. I am doing a static etherchannel for the moment, but that isn't really what I want to do. I certainly don't think LACP is broken in FreeNAS because it negotiates a 4 member LAGG with my HP 2848 switch correctly. The 2848 negotiates a 2 member LAGG with the 5820X fine, but FreeNAS and the 5820X don't seem to like one another. I am debating turning off LLDP on FreeNAS although that seems like quite a stretch.
