Hm. Well, doing an ifconfig bge0 will likely do a bunch of queries to the NIC to figure out what the current link status is. I bet what's happening is that the link status isn't being updated correctly, so lagg doesn't flip over. > > Second: > > 1.

Have a read of the FreeBSD handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ And if you have questions about the networking side of things, please don't hesitate to email the list(s). We can turn whatever question/answers you have into a chapter or two in the handbook. -a > Dan > > > On Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:11:49 -0800, Adrian Chadd <adrian.chadd@gmail.com> > wrote: >> Ive no idea sorry.
