How would one go about setting up LAGG (LACP, 802.3ad) across _all_ the 
interfaces on a pfSense box?  

It looks like I can’t get rid of the WAN interface, which would prevent me from 
assigning it to a LAG group.

What I want to do is take a dual-ethernet board and run all the interfaces on 
VLANs over LAGG so that I’m protected against cable faults, switchport faults, 
NIC failures, even switch failures if I ever stack these and do cross-stack 
LACP.

Yes, I’m using CARP to create a redundant pair of firewalls, but I’d like to 
maximize hardware redundancy as much as possible.

The other issue is that I’ll be creating more VLANs than I have ports; so if 
I’m using VLANs anyway, I figure I may as well go all the way.

I think what would be needed to make this practical is some way of setting up 
LAGG from the console, since in this particular scenario I would be setting the 
switch up for static LAG and .1Q tagging, so would not normally have any 
network connectivity until I configured pfSense to match.
