Description
In FreeBSD 10.0 and newer, LAGG with LACP defaults to strict mode. If it's not getting LACPDUs on the ports, it doesn't bring them up. That's opposite pre-10.0 behavior. This change will break a number of situations using LACP unless users disable strict mode as noted in the 2.2 upgrade guide.
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Upgrade_Guide#LAGG_LACP_Behavior_Change
Many existing configurations use passive LACP, and a good deal of those on lower end switches that don't support active.
This should default to strict mode being disabled, with a checkbox on interfaces_lagg_edit.php when LACP is selected for "enable strict mode".
