[j-nsp] Juniper EX AE Bundle with LACP active

[Brendan Mannella]

Felix,

When you say "disabled" LACP does that mean make both sides passive? Or one side active and the other side passive?

I tryed searching the docs, but all i got out of it was that if both sides are set to passive the link will not automatically come up. What exactly does that mean? And how would i bring it up.

Thanks,

Brendan

exactly the same as we saw.

we saw that with 9.1, 9.2 at least, not sure if we saw it in 9.3 - JTAC
suggested that we disable LACP (which we did), no more flapping since
then. We never got a root cause for this, I suspect it's the same thing
that keeps BFD falling over every once in a while (and thus the internal
link between RE & PFE).

Kind regards,

Felix
