[j-nsp] flexible-ethernet-services on 1000 LH interfaces

[Dan Benson]

All,

I am trying to build l2circuits between a few junipers in my network  
without any luck.  In my test case I have M20s with dual LH optic GIGe  
interfaces facing a cisco cat 6500 using 802.3ad where I then have  
vlans hanging off said switch to service downstream transit customers  
and, I was hoping, possible transport customers.

Router A:
ge-0/1/0 {
     gigether-options {
         802.3ad ae0;
     }
}
ge-0/2/0 {
     gigether-options {
         802.3ad ae0;
     }
ae0 {
vlan-tagging;
mtu 9100;
encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services;
aggregated-ether-options {
     link-speed 1g;
}
unit 600 {
     encapsulation vlan-ccc;
     vlan-id 600;
}

show configuration protocols l2circuit:
neighbor (neighbor lo0) {
     interface ae0.600 {
         virtual-circuit-id 600;
         no-control-word;
     }
}

show l2circuit connections:

MPLS in my network is running without flaw thus far and I have tested  
the intercommunication between the M20's and the Cat6500s on both  
sides, all working as one would expect.  Do these LH GIGe interfaces  
not support Flexibility? Do I need to add the "flexible-ethernet- 
services" to each interface in the ae?

That you much for your time in advance.  //db
