1.Checked the configuration on CE/PE and found that the basic configuration of VPLS is working, and the ping test between "client switch 1 " and "client switch 2" is working, which means the basic configuration is correct. 2.As we know LACP protocol packets is a kind of BPDU packets, which will be handled by CPU directly and will not transparant by switch. So we need to chance the mac-address of LACP to another one which will not be recognized as BPDU by switch. A.Set VPLS of Martini and let downlink sub-interface of PE device terminate the assigned VLAN 3023. B.Enable L2-protocol of LACP on downlink of CE and group MAC 0100-0100-0100. On switch clientswitch1: On switch clientswitch2: C.Set default VLAN of CE downlink to 3023 and enable smart QINQ which will tag LACP packet with 3023. D.Switches on both sides create eth-trunk with mode LACP to observe the status of LACP. LACP is setup successfully and its status is kept up.
 Root Cause SolutionSolution is to use command "l2protocol-tunnel lacp group-mac 0100-0100-0100" to change the mac-address of LACP to another one which is not BPDU. And the issue was resolved. |
