    Hi All,

    We have a successful deployment of MC-LAG environment (A/A MX and EX VC stacks) for many years now. Recently, there had been two instances where 'l2ald' detected MAC move and MAC buffer logs indicate one or more MACs switch between multiple AE interfaces where physically loop is not possible.

    L2ALD_MAC_MOVE_NOTIFICATION: MAC Moves detected in the system
    l2ald_iccpd_client: Pkt tx queue size:40001 reached MAX limit.

    I was wondering what protection mechanism is generally recommended for this. We are considering to test the below,

    1) MAC pinning for the trunk interfaces in the bridge domain
    2) Configure "enable-mac-move-action" under bridge domain

    Any recommendation/suggestion is much appreciated.
