[j-nsp] mc-lag standby peer not ageing out MAC addresses

Hi,

I think iccp is up because you have a redundant path available using ae10 to reach iccp peer. I faced similar issue on a customer site and had to separate iccp link using l3 lag  between chassis.
Also please check if you have multi-chassis protection enabled, we enabled it on mc-lag interfaces as well as mc-lag unit0 as well as per Engineering recommendation. Also for arp learning we need to add arp entry for each irb interface to ensure arp is learned over ICL link not via a mc-lag interface.
I assume you have rstp disabled already for mc-lag interfaces.

here it all is.
You'll just have to trust me that the ping works between peers using the ICCP IP.
We use public addressing on these and I don't want to post the public IPs here.  I've changed them to 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2 in the output.  I'm able to ping without issue.

Some details
ae0 is the iccp / icl link
ae10 is a random mc-lag interface

We have been running this config in prod in numerous sites for a while.  This particular set of switches has a difference of about 80,000 mac addresses between each core.

Iccp link configuration.
Ping output between chassis using iccp ips
And any one mc-lag interface config from both chassis

Hi,

Yes VRRP is in use.  Running 13.2R5.10, single RE.
Running active-active

What config do you want to see?  I don't want to post the whole thing.

Is it active/ active or active/ standby setup. Config for 9200 is different than the One mentioned jn Kb, are you using vrrp as well?
Please post your config, junos version.

Do you have two RE in chassis or one?
