Re: [j-nsp] [c-nsp] LACP between router VMs (James Bensley)

2017-12-02 Thread Chris Burton
For better or worse I do remember those days, though I was referring to recent hardware switches/bridges (should have clarified that).  To my knowledge that only applies to things like the STP protocols, but I could be wrong, again would need to read through the specifications again to be sure

I am not sure why it is not working for you (assuming you have bi-directional LSPs in place and no other routing or filter issues), but I do recall a previous exchange with you on this list about you possibly using the VMX, I have seen randomly at times in the past that when using the VMX (not

2017-08-23 Thread Chris Burton
Given that LSP's are by there very nature unidirectional you will need a return LSP unless you plan export your VRF routes into your underlying network. The path that that return LSP takes should not make a difference unless you are testing specific return path(s), so it should not interfere w

The command you are looking for "set protocols mpls icmp-tunneling", also need to make sure you have LSP's in both directions. -C On 08/22/2017 06:39 PM, Aaron Gould wrote: I know that this is a known thing with mpls networks, and there are a few tricks with no decrement ttl or no propagate t

I cannot speak to 17.1, but I can tell you I have run several EVPN MPLS configurations under VMX (16.1), to my knowledge EVPN VXLAN is not supported as previously mentioned, but I have not checked in some time. Cheers, -C On 07/31/2017 05:02 AM, Alain Hebert wrote: Place a sniffer between t

I can't speak to Vmware (workstation or vSphere) or Virtualbox, but with a few of the vMX licenses and a cheap server off of eBay running Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 and KVM you can run several instances of vMX on a single machine. On a dual Xeon E5-2670 equipped with 128GB of memory I am able to

Pretty sure policy-based VPN was unsupported for a short period during the transition from older code and hardware to the newer, but should be back in 15.1X49-D50, though I do not know the version of the current trial software available for download. -C On 07/15/2016 12:28 AM, Jed Laundry wro

As far as I know there is no way to set the link speed (only the link-mode for duplex) on the underlying interfaces in a AE bundle (and they are always labeled xe-), at least on the code I am running on the QFX5100-48T. You ca specify the link-speed for a AE interface which I presume sets the spee
