  • 1.  flexible-ethernet-services ae for global multi-chassis-protection interface

    Posted 09-28-2015 14:53

    Does anyone know if I can use an ae bundle configured with flexible-ethernet-services and a unit dedicated for bridging as a global multi-chassis-protection interface in the attached topology?

     

    Basically 2 routers, router1 and router2, mc-lag active/active between them and a switch with nx10G uplinks. I will run out of ports if I have to create dedicated mc-ae icl-pl links so i was thinking of using a unit off of bundle 199 (configured in bridging) to maybe get around my lack of available ports for the time being. There will be 20 mc-ae downlinks and 2x100G between MX's.

     

    Router1 = 1.1.1.1

    Router2 = 1.1.1.2

    iccp configured between them only diff in config would be the ips, chassis-id, mc-ae system-ids, and status-control being passive on router2 if I'm not crazy. I just have this 2x100G bundle that woulndt ever be used and given my port constraints on adding additional non metro or inet facing 10G links I'd prefer just re-using the inter-chassis bundle.

    Hello,

    Yes, it does work, even back in 2012 with JUNOS 11.4R4.

    Hey sorry Alex 1q, the mc-ae-id, is that unique to the bundle? Or can you re-use that accross multiple mc-ae bundles?
