Hi Manoj,

If I understand the problem correctly, when you are adding a third port to the aggregation, there is no traffic egressing the master port. is that correct?

Please ensure if the master port is part of the aggregation group.

sh sharingLoad Sharing Monitor
Config Current Agg Ld Share Ld Share Agg Link Link Up
Master Master Control Algorithm Group Mbr State Transitions
==============================================================================
1 1 LACP L2 1 Y A 2
L2 2 Y A 2
Check if the Agg Mbr column has Y next to the master port. if that is seen, we need to understand the traffic flow.
Sharing the traffic on the aggregation ports depend on the traffic that are egressing the switch.

So, please share the details regarding what type of traffic is sent out of this sharing group. if you are using L3_L4, there should be variation in the source-IP , destination-IP, source-port and the destination port numbers for each traffic flow.

Refer this article to understand why traffic flow is important for the distribution of traffic in the sharing group.

Hope this helps!

Hi I am making aggregation between juniper/redback router with lACP active .

set interfaces ge-2/2/0 hold-time up 30000
set interfaces ge-2/2/0 hold-time down 0

set interfaces ge-2/1/0 hold-time up 30000
set interfaces ge-2/1/0 hold-time down 0

Juniper Router config for example
set interfaces ge-2/1/0 gigether-options 802.3ad ae12
set interfaces ge-2/2/0 gigether-options 802.3ad ae12
set interfaces ae12 vlan-tagging
set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options minimum-links 1
set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options link-speed 1g
set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp active

Extreme switch config for aggrigation

Hi Manoj,

Looking at this output,

* SW02.54 # show sharing Load Sharing Monitor
Config Current Agg Ld Share Ld Share Agg Link Link Up
Master Master Control Algorithm Group Mbr State Transitions
==============================================================================

10:6 LACP L3_L4 10:6 - A 2
L3_L4 10:27 - A 4

it seems like the ports are not part of the aggregation group itself.

Please check if the LACP PDUs are sent and received on the ports.

collect the following outputs:

show lacp counters.

This article would help you in troubleshooting.

Hello Manoj,

What is the juniper switch you are using.

there is difference in lag algorithm in juniper and extreme.

You fine tune in extreme switches with the below command:
configure sharing address-based custom [ipv4 [source-only | destination-only |source-and-destination] | hash-algorithm [xor | crc-16 | crc-32 [lower | upper]]]

Are you facing issues with incoming or outgoing traffic in the lacp agg?
Means from juniper or traffic towards juniper?

Regards,
Parthiban Chinnaya
