I am running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201412240734 on an HP DL380 G5. I recently added the following 10G NIC to increase performance.
bxe0@pci0:11:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x121314e4 chip=0x166214e4 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'NetXtreme II BCM57712 10 Gigabit Ethernet'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
bxe1@pci0:11:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x121314e4 chip=0x166214e4 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'NetXtreme II BCM57712 10 Gigabit Ethernet'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
These NIC's connect to the following switch:

These NIC's connect via an LACP LAG to this switch:
HP ProCurve 2848
Image stamp: /sw/code/build/mako
Sep 24 2013 16:28:07
I.10.103

Boot Image: Primary
The twisted pair NIC's are all configured as an LACP LAG, and that works fine. I attempted to configure the two 10G ports as a LAG, but I cannot get that to work. The switch reports that it sees the successful LACP neogtiation, and I think it even learned a MAC address, but FreeNAS reports the LAG interface as down. I tried a number of combinations, but nothing was successful. I can get it to work when I configure it as static and the switch side and FEC on the FreeNAS side. I would really prefer to have LACP work. I am not very familiar with the CommWorks (H2C) flavor of switch, but I can gather any other information that might be relevant. Any suggestions?
