Add support for link aggregation (802.3ad & LACP)
With ISPs across the US (and indeed, the world community at large) rolling out multi-gig packages, an increasing number of SMB and consumer ISP Modems and/or Routers come with multiple ports for 802.3ad or LACP (as defined in the 802.1ax spec). The Netgear CM1100 for Cox/Xfinity customers is one example of such a modem and the AX8 Nighthawk router is another. Without this support, Untangle could become a bottleneck concern in the near future (Comcast is already offering 2 Gbps service in some regions).

jlfickenI'd really like this to exist at least on the LAN side for failover as well as for those of us that use the router on a stick model for Inter-VLAN routing.

Jamie FPlease add this as it's the only thing that has me considering jumping to pfSense.

Jeremy heyboerPlease add this feature. This is a must for redundancy at an interface level. This could be the difference between an outage or no customer impact. Lacp is good for 1 gig connections until the price of 10 gig comes down in price but even then it’s needed for link layer redundancy.

JoeNot for performance, but for redundancy. Two switches in a single chassis can then connect to UT.

AWI installed the trial of Untangle, tried to set this up, found out it wasn't possible, and uninstalled after <30 minutes uptime. I'll give Untangle another try if/when this is implemented.

MikeI feel like this was be hugely valuable to customers that are using multi-gig connections. Would also be nice for redundancy.

Lord DarkoneLACP is not for WAN but dealing with multiple internal networks, at present the vlan planning needs to be worked out per physical interface, easier to just bundle the available ports together & assign the vlans to the bundle..
Note a lot of us use Untangle to firewall & route subnet to subnet, not just to go out to the internet..
Especially when also using multiple external addresses & mapping NAT inbound & outbound. -

Robert FieldsI agree with the others who posted here. Many of your competitors offer this as a default, even on some low-grade consumer models. Redundancy, speed, throughput....this should be a no brainer to be added. This would benefit both home and enterprise users.

Del TunerLoved this firewall but had to dump it because no LACP support. Ended up going with PFsense as it supports LACP

SteveAdding on here. I am reaching 800MB now, mainly for interVLAN routing. If this is not added I will have to look at other solutions.
