Thanks - I hadn’t seen the “free” version from IEEE, and may looking into that
later. However, I think my time with messing around with this switch and lagg
is just about over.
I did get FreeBSD to work with LACP in this Switch. I hacked in the 4 extra
bytes in struct lacpdu in src/sys/net/ieee8023ad_lacp.h
Index: ieee8023ad_lacp.h

This work great and without any issue. All the defaults with 10-stable
(r275778) and recent version of -head with this one line made it work. Of
course, this will likely break FreeBSD with all other switches LACP.
However, what I have also discovered this this switch is unlike FreeBSD which
lagghash includes L4, the switch only seems to hash over SRC+DST IP or SRC+DST
MAC. Which makes it pretty much just sends all the traffic down one link from
the switch. So for my particular use case with a small set of hosts, this
switch is not useful for me.
I would not recommend the TP-Link TL-SG2008 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch for use
with FreeBSD … or for any use with LACP that is expecting increased throughput
for a small set of hosts.
