Thanks Dan, I believe there's a strong likelihood that 10.0S6.1 may solve my MCAST issue.
I'm still gathering fact of the routing issue and my testing appears to be inconsistent with the system's folks testing. On a related note, what are the recommendations and config options for EX's where system cluster nodes are distributed across cabinets and different switches (stand alone, not VC), MAC aging, grat. ARP, etc. ?

I realize that you are likely not using hundreds of RVI's, but if you are, this similar behavior can be exhibited. This is what happened- I had about 750 RVI's on a 4200 VC, and it was like a overfilled tomato truck of how many could actually be working at any given time (as one tomato gets on the front of the truck, one would fall off the back), and would randomly not work with some at random times. It was narrowed down to an issue specifically addressed in 10.0S1.1, now 10.0S6.1. There are other PR's mentioned that seem to touch protocols you're having issues with, you should review this link and use it- https://www.juniper.net/alerts/viewalert.jsp?actionBtn=Search&txtAlertNumber=PSN-2010-06-820&viewMode=view If you are interested in the details of my specific case I'll be happy to share them.

Problem 1. Inter-vlan routing. I'm seeing issues with simple routing from vlanA on switch1 to vlanB on switch2. Both switch1 and switch2 connect via L2 ae trunks to the EX4200 VC. All Vlans are consistent throughout all switches. RVI's on the Layer3 VC are correct. I am also seeing a traceroute from hostA on switch1 to hostB on switch2 to return only the dest host, not the gateway (VC) followed by the dest host as would be expected (IOW, a single hop). The EX4200 just replaced a C3750 VC, the rack switches mentioned did not change. Problem 2. (separate issue) Multicast on same switch/same vlan. I have two hosts that can normally communicate via mcast that now that they're on a Juniper EX cannot. I haven't changed the default of "igmp-snooping vlan all". I move these hosts back to the "C" switch and mcast functions again. Thank you in advance for any shred thoughts. -b -- Bill Blackford Senior Network Engineer Technology Systems Group Northwest Regional ESD Logged into reality and abusing my sudo priviledges _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
