Hi,

I'm testing an asr901. We're looking at using for l2vpn termination.
For some reason the xconnect refuses to stand up between asr901 and
me3600x. Similar setup between two 3600x works fine.

Relevant config on the asr901:

!
hostname asr901A

boot system flash:/asr901-universalk9-mz.152-2.SNH1.bin

on the ME3600X the xconnect looks like this:

interface GigabitEthernet0/11

 switchport trunk allowed vlan none
 switchport mode trunk
 mtu 9100
 service-policy output PM-INT-1G-OUT

  xconnect 10.123.29.3 4321 encapsulation mpls
   mtu 1500

I can see the ISIS and LDP up between asr901 and me3600x:

asr901A#sh mpls ldp neighbor
    Peer LDP Ident: 10.123.129.1:0; Local LDP Ident 10.123.129.3:0

Yet the actual vc doesn't come up:

The error 'Local peer access circuit is down' is all I get on the 901,
on the me3600x I get:

Ethernet VLAN is down and the same error message 'Local peer access
circuit is down'  shows up.

Debug on the ASR901 reveals the following:
*Mar  1 04:02:29.779: AToM[10.123.29.1, 4321]: Receive status update

I have no idea why I get those errors on the AC.
Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

kind regards
