mlag port blocked

mlag port blocked

I have the following mlag configuration:

3f2e283435224c2abc3cd44861e3f4fe_RackMultipart20160412-44135-qtv179-mlag-configuration_inline.jpg


I have created an mlag with a Juniper router with no problems. However, on the mlag 2 with the Dell server, port 2 on R1484 is "blocked on the vlan". Here is my config on R1484:
******************************************
# R1484 config

create vlan "contrail"
configure vlan contrail tag 10

create vlan "R1484-R1485-IRL"
configure vlan R1484-R1485-IRL tag 974

configure ports 2 auto off speed 10000 duplex full
configure ports 46 auto off speed 10000 duplex full
configure ports 47 auto off speed 10000 duplex full

enable sharing 46 grouping 46-47 algorithm address-based L2 lacp
enable sharing 2 grouping 2 algorithm address-based L2 lacp

configure vlan contrail add ports 46, 48 tagged
configure vlan contrail add ports 2 untagged
configure vlan R1484-R1485-IRL add ports 46 tagged
configure vlan R1484-R1485-IRL ipaddress 10.124.242.121 255.255.255.252

# Module lacp configuration.
configure sharing 2 lacp timeout short

# Module vsm configuration.
create mlag peer "R1485"
configure mlag peer "R1485" ipaddress 10.124.242.122 vr VR-Default
enable mlag port 2 peer "R1485" id 2
****************************************

Here's the config on the Dell:
***************************************
auto em1
iface em1 inet manual
bond-master bond1

auto em2
iface em2 inet manual
bond-master bond1

auto bond1
iface bond1 inet static
address 192.168.135.12
gateway 192.168.135.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
#use standard IEEE 802.3ad LACP bonding protocol
bond-mode 4
bond-miimon 100
bond-lacp-rate 1
bond-slaves em1 em2
*********************************************

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why port 2 on R1484 is blocked?
This only happens with mlag. If I do a single link bond to R1484, no issues. Is there some
sort of looping going on here?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Hello Tim,

Can you show us the output where you are seeing the port blocked. MLAG should not block ports so it may be another protocol doing this.
