  • 1.  MC-LAG issue. Active - Standby. 2 MXes and 1 EX.

    Posted 05-28-2019 02:38

    Hello,

     

    MX960 (dcr3.hors) xe-0/1/1 (ae100) <===> (ae0) xe-0/1/0 (dcx-test.hors) EX2300
    
    MX960 (dcr4.hors) xe-0/1/1 (ae100) <===> (ae0) xe-0/1/1 (dcx-test.hors) EX2300

     

    I have an MC-LAG issue which is manifesting this way:

    Is chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count set to >=101 on the MX's? You should post relevent configs for each of the three devices.

    LACP is down on all 3 devices

     

    labroot@lab# run show lacp interfaces
    Aggregated interface: ae6
    LACP state: Role Exp Def Dist Col Syn Aggr Timeout Activity
    xe-0/0/1 Actor No No Yes Yes Yes Yes Fast Active
    xe-0/0/1 Partner No No Yes Yes Yes Yes Fast Active
    LACP protocol: Receive State Transmit State Mux State
    xe-0/0/1 Current Fast periodic Collecting distributing <<<<<<This is what is looks like when LACP is up 

     

    First of all, you should check if LACP can come back between one MX and one EX. Looks like in your case, you are not able to bring up the LACP even with one MX and on EX. After that, we can check ICCP/ICL and mc-ae. Please get ae100/ae0/iccp and other related configurations

    Hi there,

     

    agree with the last comments you need to ensure you are not just running into a LACP issue, and with the config you showed us is hard to tell.

     

    Check that first then you can use these commands should work on MX

     

    root@re0# set multi-chassis mc-lag consistency-check   

    after that run the consistency check:

     

     root@re0>run show multi-chassis mc-lag configuration-consistency

    hope it helps let us know ok
