Did you set it to 0 via the sysctl?  You might need to wait for several =
minutes if you set it after setting up the links.

Also, the message that you=92re seeing is from your machine transmitting =
PDU packets.  Are you seeing any "lacpdu receive=94 messages on the =
console?

Thanks,
Scott

apologies for this mess, I=92ll make sure that it=92s fixed for FreeBSD =
10.1.  If the sysctl doesn=92t help then maybe consider compiling a =
custom kernel with it defaulted to 0.  You=92ll need to open =
/sys/net/ieee802ad_lacp.c and look for the function lacp_attach().  =
You=92ll see the strict_mode assign underneath that.  I=92ll also send =
you a patch in a few minutes.  Until then, try enabling =
net.link.lagg.lacp.debug=3D1 and see if you=92re receiving heartbeat =
PDU=92s from your switch.

Maybe some incompatibility between FreeBSD + igb-driver + switch =

If it=92s =911=92 then set it to 0.  My original intention was for this =
to default to 0, but apparently that didn=92t happen.  However, the fact =
that strict mode doesn=92t seem to work at all for you might hint that =
your switch either isn=92t configured correctly for LACP, or doesn=92t =
actually support LACP at all.  You might want to investigate that.
