Hello, Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions.
I did not have any licenses installed. Oddly enough VMX2 was showing: user@LabVMX2> show pfe statistics traffic bandwidth Configured Bandwidth : 1000000 bps Bandwidth : 0 bps Average Bandwidth : 339 bps This explains why VMX1 could receive traffic from VMX2. VMX1 had: user@LabVMX1> show pfe statistics traffic bandwidth Configured Bandwidth : 0 bps Bandwidth : 0 bps Average Bandwidth : 0 bps This is very strangle considering I created both VMX from the same install file and they have near identical configs!?! Anyway I downloaded a 60 trial license from the Juniper web site and installed on both. Everything is now working as expected.
