Unable to prioritize interface member in LAGG

Description

In 11.2 and prior we had the ability to prioritize an interface in a LAGG configured for failover. I can't find that in 11.3 and it seems to have been removed from the user guide.

How do I accomplish this now? Use case is a LAGG composed of a 1gbps interface and a 10gbs interface. Obviously I want the 10gbs to be the active one unless it's disconnected, and then to become active on reconnection.

NICs register as igb and cxl. igb is the 1gbs NIC, and it seems to always be the primary on bootup. Removing and then adding it back again changes it until reboot.

Functionality to prioritize link aggregation members exists in SCALE.

I have this issue on 12.0-U5.1

I have SolarFlare (sfxge0) and Intel (ixgb0) interfaces configured in a failover lagg group, but the Intel interface is always assigned as MASTER.

I checked the config database network_lagginterfacemembers table, and the interfaces are assigned the lagg_ordernum column value I'd expect (sfxge0 at 0, ixgb0 at 1), so the problem must be the startup code?

Is there a workaround for this?

I still don't think we have the ability to set the priority which seems important, but it hasn't been an issue for me on 12 since the 10gb NICS are getting priority anyway which is what I want.

Is this still an issue?

 Also while it's disabled in the UI there may be a way to set the desired priority setting from the API (although not very user friendly) I still need to confirm that though.
