[j-nsp] ACX5448 and QFX5110 (mis)configuration for 802.1AD TPID?

Hey,

I’m trying to lab up some l2circuit scenarios and I’m having some issues with 802.1AD outers.  I could use some clue if this sounds familiar to anyone.

Here’s the physical topology:

CE1 <xe-0/0/2> QFX5110 <MPLS> ACX5448 <xe-0/0/2> CE2

The Coles Notes on the test traffic:

- CE1: 802.1AD outer (10), 802.1Q inner (11): 1.10.11.4/24
- CE2: 802.1AD outer (10), 802.1Q inner (11): 1.10.11.5/24

CE1 <> QFX case:
- CE1 generates frames towards CE2, frames are matched on QFX xe-0/0/2 facing CE1, matched as VLAN tagged frames, but not matched on the unit.

CE2 <> ACX case:
- CE2 generates frames towards CE1, frames are matched on ACX xe-0/0/2 facing CE2, but not matched as VLAN tagged frames, matched in Input Filter statistics, and matched on the unit.  Not unsure whether the Input Filter statistics implies they are getting dropped or not.

Needless to say, in either case, CE1 doesn’t see CE2’s frames, and CE2 doesn’t see CE1’s frames.  They’re getting dropped somewhere, and I’m not sure if there’s a way to see where they might be getting dropped to point to whether this is a configuration issue or just an unsupported configuration.

My understanding of the configuration I have in place is it will match the 802.1AD outer tag and forward those frames along the l2circuit, whether there’s an inner tag or not.

Thanks in advance.  Nitty gritty details below.
