MLAG Configuration

MLAG Configuration

Hello;

I have configured an MLAG between 2 X590 routers with a double LACP link between them. This is my configuration:

create vlan "MLAG_CORE"
configure vlan MLAG_CORE tag 250
enable sharing 29 grouping 29,33 algorithm address-based L2 lacp
configure vlan MLAG_CORE add ports 29 tagged
configure vlan MLAG_CORE ipaddress 10.250.0.2 255.255.255.252
create mlag peer "CORE"
configure mlag peer "CORE" ipaddress 10.250.0.1 vr VR-Default
configure mlag peer "CORE" lacp-mac 00:04:96:e5:17:94

This is the output of the command:

 R-A52.2 # sh mlag peer
Multi-switch Link Aggregation Peers:

But when I run the following command it doesn't give me any information:

 

 R-A52.3 # sh mlag ports

                          Local                                                        Local     Remote

                  N/A - The peer has not communicated link state for this MLAG port,
                  Virtual - MLAG peer switch does not have physical port.

Link Up Isolation                               : Off
 

I am missing any configuration ??, or is it that I have not created downlink  yet.

you forgot to enable sharing on port 22 on both mlag peers

The ports below havenā€™t received any LACP packets therefore are not joining the aggregrate:

 

Lag           Member     Rx       Rx Drop      Rx Drop       Rx Drop         Tx             Tx

What is on the other side of those links?

Thanks,

Hello;

I have configured an MLAG between 2 X590 routers with a double LACP link between them. This is my configuration:
R1:
create vlan "MANAGE"
configure vlan MANAGE tag 1000
create vlan "MLAG_CORE"
configure vlan MLAG_CORE tag 250
configure ports 29 description-string "LINK_R-A52_Port_29_VRRP"
enable sharing 29 grouping 29.33 algorithm address-based L2 lacp
configure vlan MANAGE add ports 1-32,34-36 untagged
configure vlan MLAG_CORE add ports 29 tagged
configure vlan MANAGE ipaddress 10.1.0.251 255.255.0.0
enable ipforwarding vlan MANAGE
configure vlan MLAG_CORE ipaddress 10.250.0.1 255.255.255.252
create mlag peer "CORE"
configure mlag peer "CORE" ipaddress 10.250.0.2 vr VR-Default
configure mlag peer "CORE" lacp-mac 00:04:96:e5:17:94
enable mlag port 22 peer "CORE" id 1


R2:
create vlan "MANAGE"
configure vlan MANAGE tag 1000
create vlan "MLAG_CORE"
configure vlan MLAG_CORE tag 250
configure ports 29 description-string "LINK_R-A52_Port_29_VRRP"
enable sharing 29 grouping 29.33 algorithm address-based L2 lacp
configure vlan MANAGE add ports 1-32,34-36 untagged
configure vlan MLAG_CORE add ports 29 tagged
configure vlan MANAGE ipaddress 10.1.0.252 255.255.0.0
enable ipforwarding vlan MANAGE
configure vlan MLAG_CORE ipaddress 10.250.0.2 255.255.255.252
create mlag peer "CORE"
configure mlag peer "CORE" ipaddress 10.250.0.1 vr VR-Default
configure mlag peer "CORE" lacp-mac 00: 04: 96: e5: 17: 94
enable mlag port 22 peer "CORE" id 1

This is the command output (same on both routers)

the problem I have is that there is no ping response from the routers to the switch stack.

Can anybody help me??
