The lagg interface enables transparent failover between (eg) wired & wifi interfaces - making it trivial to combine the flexibility of walking around the house without any cables with the throughput of a wired interface.
For a normal boot environment, this is as simple as placing something like the following in /etc/rc.conf
:
ifconfig_re0="up" ifconfig_ath0="ether 00:1e:68:aa:bb:cc" # Set WiFi MAC address to match wired MAC address wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="SYNCDHCP laggproto failover laggport re0 laggport wlan0"
