MC-LAG Examples
Example: Configuring Multichassis Link Aggregation on the QFX Series
This example shows how multichassis link aggregation groups (MC-LAGs) enable a client device to form a logical LAG interface between two switches to provide redundancy and load balancing between the two switches, multihoming support, and a loop-free Layer 2 network without running Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Junos OS Release 13.2X51-D10 or later for the QFX5100 standalone switches, Release 15.1X53-D10 or later for QFX10002 standalone switches.
Revalidated on Junos OS Release 17.3R1 for QFX5100 and QFX10000 switches.
Revalidated on Junos OS Release 19.4R1 for QFX10000 switches.
Before you configure an MC-LAG, be sure that you understand how to:
Configure aggregated Ethernet interfaces on a switch. See Example: Configuring Link Aggregation Between a QFX Series Product and an Aggregation Switch.
Configure the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on aggregated Ethernet interfaces on a switch. See Example: Configuring Link Aggregation with LACP Between a QFX Series Product and an Aggregation Switch.
Overview
In this example, you configure an MC-LAG across two switches, consisting of two aggregated Ethernet interfaces, an interchassis control link-protection link (ICL-PL), multichassis protection link for the ICL-PL, the Inter-Chassis Control Protocol for the peers hosting the MC-LAG, and Layer 3 connectivity between MC-LAG peers. Layer 3 connectivity is required for ICCP.
Topology
The topology used in this example consists of two switches hosting an MC-LAG. The two switches are connected to a server. Figure 1 shows the topology used in this example.

Troubleshooting a LAG That Is Down
Problem
The show interfaces terse command shows that the MC-LAG is down.
Solution
Check the following:
Verify that there is no configuration mismatch.
Verify that all member ports are up.
Verify that the MC-LAG is part of family Ethernet switching (Layer 2 LAG).
Verify that the MC-LAG member is connected to the correct MC-LAG member at the other end.
Example: Configuring Multichassis Link Aggregation on the MX Series
This example shows how to configure a multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) in an active-active scenario, which load balances traffic across the PEs.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
This example also applies to QFX10002 and QFX10008 switches.
Four Juniper Networks MX Series routers ( MX240, MX480, MX960)
Junos OS Release 11.2 or later running on all four routers
Overview
Consider a sample topology in which a customer edge router, CE, is connected to two provider edge (PE) routers, PE1 and PE2, respectively. The two PE devices each have a link aggregation group (LAG) connected to the CE device. The configured mode is active -active, meaning that both PE routers’ LAG ports are active and carrying traffic at the same time. PE1 and PE2 are connected to a single service provider router, P.
In this example, the CE router is not aware that its aggregated Ethernet links are connected to two separate PE devices. The two PE devices each have a LAG connected to the CE device. The configured mode is active-active, meaning that both PE routers’ LAG ports are active and carrying traffic at the same time.
In Figure 2, from the perspective of Router CE, all four ports belonging to a LAG are connected to a single service provider device. Because the configured mode is active-active, all four ports are active, and the CE device load-balances the traffic to the peering PE devices. On the PE routers, a regular LAG is configured facing the CE device.
On one end of an MC-LAG is an MC-LAG client device, such as a server, that has one or more physical links in a LAG. This client device does not need to detect the MC-LAG. On the other side of an MC-LAG are two MC-LAG routers. Each of the routers has one or more physical links connected to a single client device. The routers coordinate with each other to ensure that data traffic is forwarded properly.
ICCP messages are sent between the two PE devices. In this example, you configure an MC-LAG across two routers, consisting of two aggregated Ethernet interfaces, an interchassis link-protection link (ICL-PL), multichassis protection link for the ICL-PL, and ICCP for the peers hosting the MC-LAG.

Example: Configuring Multichassis Link Aggregation on EX9200 Switches in the Core for Campus Networks
MC-LAG in a campus configuration allows you to bond two or more physical links into a logical link between core-aggregation or aggregation-access switches. MC-LAG improves availability by providing active/active links between multiple switches over a standard Link Aggregation Group (LAG), eliminates the need for the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and provides faster Layer 2 convergence upon link and device failures. With multiple active network paths, MC-LAG enables you to load balance traffic across the multiple physical links. If a link fails, the traffic can be forwarded through the other available links and the aggregated link remains available.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Junos OS Release 13.2R5.10 for EX Series
Two EX9200 switches
This configuration example has been tested using the software release listed and is assumed to work on all later releases.
Before you configure an MC-LAG, be sure that you understand how to:
Configure aggregated Ethernet interfaces on a switch. See Configuring an Aggregated Ethernet Interface.
Configure the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on aggregated Ethernet interfaces on a switch. See Configuring Aggregated Ethernet LACP (CLI Procedure).
Overview
In this example, you configure an MC-LAG across two switches, consisting of two aggregated Ethernet interfaces, an interchassis link-protection link (ICL-PL), multichassis protection link for the ICL-PL, ICCP for the peers hosting the MC-LAG, and Layer 3 connectivity between MC-LAG peers. Layer 3 connectivity is required for ICCP.
Topology
The topology used in this example consists of two switches hosting an MC-LAG. The two switches are connected to an EX4600 switch and an MX80 router. Figure 3 shows the topology of this example.
Table 1 details the topology used in this configuration example.

Verifying ....
Purpose
Verify that....is enabled or not.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show ... command.
Meaning
When BPDUs are sent from the PCs to interface ge-0/0/5.0 and interface ge-0/0/6.0 on Switch 2, the output from the operational mode command show spanning-tree interface shows that the interfaces have transitioned to a BPDU inconsistent state. The BPDU inconsistent state causes the interfaces to shut down.
If the PCs connected to Switch 2 send BPDUs to the interfaces again, BPDU protection is triggered once more and the interfaces transition back to the BPDU inconsistent state, causing them to shut down. In such cases, you need to find and repair the misconfiguration on the PCs that is sending BPDUs to Switch 2.
The field VLAN members shows that the ge-0/0/2.0 interface supports both the data-vlan VLAN and voice-vlan VLAN. The State field shows that the interface is up.

Example: Simplifying Multichassis Link Aggregation on EX9200 Switches in the Core for Campus Networks
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Junos OS Release 16.1R1 for EX Series
Two EX9200 switches
This configuration example has been tested using the software release listed and is assumed to work on all later releases.
Before you configure an MC-LAG, be sure that you understand how to:
Configure aggregated Ethernet interfaces on a switch. See Configuring an Aggregated Ethernet Interface .
Configure the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on aggregated Ethernet interfaces on a switch. See Configuring Aggregated Ethernet LACP (CLI Procedure) .
Overview
In this example, you configure an MC-LAG across two switches, consisting of two aggregated Ethernet interfaces, multichassis protection using the ICL, ICCP for the peers hosting the MC-LAG, and Layer 3 connectivity between MC-LAG peers. Layer 3 connectivity is required for ICCP.
To simplify the MC-LAG configuration process, you will enable configuration synchronization and configuration consistency check. Configuration synchronization enables you to easily propagate, synchronize, and commit configurations from one MC-LAG peer to another. You can log into any one of the MC-LAG peers to manage both MC-LAG peers, thus having a single point of management. Configuration consistency check uses the Inter-Chassis Control Protocol (ICCP) to exchange MC-LAG configuration parameters (chassis ID, service ID, and so on) and checks for any configuration inconsistencies across MC-LAG peers. When there is an inconsistency, you are notified and can take action to resolve it. Configuration consistency check is invoked after you issue a commit on an MC-LAG peer.
On the EX9200-A switch, you will configure the following configuration synchronization and configuration consistency check parameters:
Local, remote, and global configuration groups that are synchronized to the EX9200-B switch.
Conditional groups.
Apply groups.
NETCONF over SSH.
MC-LAG peer details and user authentication details for MC-LAG configuration synchronization.
peers-synchronize statement to synchronize the configurations between local and remote MC-LAG peers by default.
set multi-chassis mc-lag consistency-check command for consistency check.
On the EX9200-B switch, the configuration process is much shorter and simpler. You will configure the following configuration synchronization and configuration consistency check parameters:
Apply groups.
NETCONF over SSH.
MC-LAG peer details and user authentication details for MC-LAG configuration synchronization.
peers-synchronize statement to synchronize and commit the configurations between local and remote MC-LAG peers.
multi-chassis mc-lag consistency-check statement to enable consistency check.
Topology
The topology used in this example consists of two switches hosting an MC-LAG. Figure 4 shows the topology of this example.

Example: Configuring CoS for FCoE Transit Switch Traffic Across an MC-LAG
Multichassis link aggregation groups (MC-LAGs) provide redundancy and load balancing between two switches, multihoming support for client devices such as servers, and a loop-free Layer 2 network without running Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
This example uses Junos OS without support for the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style. If your switch runs software that does support ELS, see Example: Configuring CoS Using ELS for FCoE Transit Switch Traffic Across an MC-LAG. For ELS details, see Using the Enhanced Layer 2 Software CLI.
You can use an MC-LAG to provide a redundant aggregation layer for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic in an inverted-U topology. To support lossless transport of FCoE traffic across an MC-LAG, you must configure the appropriate class of service (CoS) on both of the switches with MC-LAG port members. The CoS configuration must be the same on both of the MC-LAG switches because an MC-LAG does not carry forwarding class and IEEE 802.1p priority information.
This example describes how to configure CoS to provide lossless transport for FCoE traffic across an MC-LAG that connects two switches. It also describes how to configure CoS on the FCoE transit switches that connect FCoE hosts to the two switches that form the MC-LAG.
This example does not describe how to configure the MC-LAG itself. However, this example includes a subset of MC-LAG configuration that only shows how to configure interface membership in the MC-LAG.
Ports that are part of an FCoE-FC gateway configuration (a virtual FCoE-FC gateway fabric) do not support MC-LAGs. Ports that are members of an MC-LAG act as FCoE pass-through transit switch ports.
QFX Series switches and EX4600 switches support MC-LAGs. QFabric system Node devices do not support MC-LAGs.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Two Juniper Networks QFX3500 switches that form an MC-LAG for FCoE traffic.
Two Juniper Networks QFX3500 switches that provide FCoE server access in transit switch mode and that connect to the MC-LAG switches. These switches can be standalone QFX3500 switches or they can be Node devices in a QFabric system.
FCoE servers (or other FCoE hosts) connected to the transit switches.
Junos OS Release 12.2 or later for the QFX Series.
Overview
FCoE traffic requires lossless transport. This example shows you how to:
Configure CoS for FCoE traffic on the two QFX3500 switches that form the MC-LAG, including priority-based flow control (PFC) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS; hierarchical scheduling of resources for the FCoE forwarding class priority and for the forwarding class set priority group).
Note Configuring or changing PFC on an interface blocks the entire port until the PFC change is completed. After a PFC change is completed, the port is unblocked and traffic resumes. Blocking the port stops ingress and egress traffic, and causes packet loss on all queues on the port until the port is unblocked.
Configure CoS for FCoE on the two FCoE transit switches that connect FCoE hosts to the MC-LAG switches and enable FIP snooping on the FCoE VLAN at the FCoE transit switch access ports.
Disable IGMP snooping on the FCoE VLAN.
Note This is only necessary if IGMP snooping is enabled on the VLAN. Before Junos OS Release 13.2, IGMP snooping was enabled by default on VLANs. Beginning with Junos OS Release 13.2, IGMP snooping is enabled by default only on the default VLAN.
Configure the appropriate port mode, MTU, and FCoE trusted or untrusted state for each interface to support lossless FCoE transport.
Topology
Switches that act as transit switches support MC-LAGs for FCoE traffic in an inverted-U network topology, as shown in Figure 5.
Table 3 shows the configuration components for this example.
Table 3: Components of the CoS for FCoE Traffic Across an MC-LAG Configuration Topology
Component | Settings |
|---|---|
Hardware | Four QFX3500 switches (two to form the MC-LAG as pass-through transit switches and two transit switches for FCoE access). |
Forwarding class (all switches) | Default fcoe forwarding class. |
Classifier (forwarding class mapping of incoming traffic to IEEE priority) | Default IEEE 802.1p trusted classifier on all FCoE interfaces. |
LAGs and MC-LAG | S1—Ports xe-0/0/10 and x-0/0/11 are members of
LAG ae0, which connects Switch S1 to Switch S2. S2—Ports xe-0/0/10 and x-0/0/11 are members of LAG ae0,
which connects Switch S2 to Switch S1. Note: Ports xe-0/0/20 and xe-0/0/21 on Switches S1 and S2 are the members of the MC-LAG. TS1—Ports xe-0/0/25 and x-0/0/26 are members of LAG ae1,
configured in trunk port mode, as fcoe-trusted, and with an MTU of 2180. TS2—Ports xe-0/0/25 and x-0/0/26 are members of LAG ae1,
configured in trunk port mode, as fcoe-trusted, and with an MTU of 2180. |
FCoE queue scheduler (all switches) | fcoe-sched: |
Forwarding class-to-scheduler mapping (all switches) | Scheduler map fcoe-map: |
Forwarding class set (FCoE priority group, all switches) | fcoe-pg: Egress interfaces:
|
Traffic control profile (all switches) | fcoe-tcp: |
PFC congestion notification profile (all switches) | fcoe-cnp: Ingress interfaces:
|
FCoE VLAN name and tag ID | Name—fcoe_vlan Include the FCoE VLAN on the interfaces that carry FCoE traffic on all four switches. Disable IGMP snooping on the interfaces that belong to the FCoE VLAN on all four switches. |
FIP snooping | Enable FIP snooping on Transit Switches TS1 and TS2 on the FCoE VLAN. Configure the LAG interfaces that connect to the MC-LAG switches as FCoE trusted interfaces so that they do not perform FIP snooping. This example enables VN2VN_Port FIP snooping on the FCoE transit switch interfaces connected to the FCoE servers. The example is equally valid with VN2VF_Port FIP snooping enabled on the transit switch access ports. The method of FIP snooping you enable depends on your network configuration. |
This example uses the default IEEE 802.1p trusted BA classifier, which is automatically applied to trunk mode and tagged access mode ports if you do not apply an explicitly configured classifier.
To configure CoS for FCoE traffic across an MC-LAG:
Use the default FCoE forwarding class and forwarding-class-to-queue mapping (do not explicitly configure the FCoE forwarding class or output queue). The default FCoE forwarding class is fcoe, and the default output queue is queue 3.
Note In Junos OS Release 12.2, traffic mapped to explicitly configured forwarding classes, even lossless forwarding classes such as fcoe, is treated as lossy (best-effort) traffic and does not receive lossless treatment. To receive lossless treatment in Release 12.2, traffic must use one of the default lossless forwarding classes (fcoe or no-loss).
In Junos OS Release 12.3 and later, you can include the no-loss packet drop attribute in the explicit forwarding class configuration to configure a lossless forwarding class.
Use the default trusted BA classifier, which maps incoming packets to forwarding classes by the IEEE 802.1p code point (CoS priority) of the packet. The trusted classifier is the default classifier for interfaces in trunk and tagged-access port modes. The default trusted classifier maps incoming packets with the IEEE 802.1p code point 3 (011) to the FCoE forwarding class. If you choose to configure the BA classifier instead of using the default classifier, you must ensure that FCoE traffic is classified into forwarding classes in exactly the same way on both MC-LAG switches. Using the default classifier ensures consistent classifier configuration on the MC-LAG ports.
Configure a congestion notification profile that enables PFC on the FCoE code point (code point 011 in this example). The congestion notification profile configuration must be the same on both MC-LAG switches.
Apply the congestion notification profile to the interfaces.
Configure enhanced transmission selection (ETS, also known as hierarchical scheduling) on the interfaces to provide the bandwidth required for lossless FCoE transport. Configuring ETS includes configuring bandwidth scheduling for the FCoE forwarding class, a forwarding class set (priority group) that includes the FCoE forwarding class, and a traffic control profile to assign bandwidth to the forwarding class set that includes FCoE traffic.
Apply the ETS scheduling to the interfaces.
Configure the port mode, MTU, and FCoE trusted or untrusted state for each interface to support lossless FCoE transport.
In addition, this example describes how to enable FIP snooping on the Transit Switch TS1 and TS2 ports that are connected to the FCoE servers and how to disable IGMP snooping on the FCoE VLAN. To provide secure access, FIP snooping must be enabled on the FCoE access ports.
This example focuses on the CoS configuration to support lossless FCoE transport across an MC-LAG. This example does not describe how to configure the properties of MC-LAGs and LAGs, although it does show you how to configure the port characteristics required to support lossless transport and how to assign interfaces to the MC-LAG and to the LAGs.
Before you configure CoS, configure:
The MC-LAGs that connect Switches S1 and S2 to Switches TS1 and TS2.
The LAGs that connect the Transit Switches TS1 and TS2 to MC-LAG Switches S1 and S2.
The LAG that connects Switch S1 to Switch S2.
Configuration
To configure CoS for lossless FCoE transport across an MC-LAG, perform these tasks:
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure CoS for lossless FCoE transport across an MC-LAG, copy the following commands, paste them in a text file, remove line breaks, change variables and details to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI for MC-LAG Switch S1 and MC-LAG Switch S2 at the [edit] hierarchy level. The configurations on Switches S1 and S2 are identical because the CoS configuration must be identical, and because this example uses the same ports on both switches.

Configuring MC-LAG Switches S1 and S2
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure CoS resource scheduling (ETS), PFC, the FCoE VLAN, and the LAG and MC-LAG interface membership and characteristics to support lossless FCoE transport across an MC-LAG (this example uses the default fcoe forwarding class and the default classifier to map incoming FCoE traffic to the FCoE IEEE 802.1p code point 011, so you do not configure them):
- Configure output scheduling for the FCoE queue.

user@switch# set interfaces ae1 congestion-notification-profile fcoe-cnp - Configure the VLAN for FCoE traffic (fcoe_vlan).
[edit vlans]
user@switch# set fcoe_vlan vlan-id 100 - Disable IGMP snooping on the FCoE VLAN.
[edit protocols]
user@switch# set igmp-snooping vlan fcoe_vlan disable - Add the member interfaces to the LAG between the two MC-LAG
switches.
[edit interfaces]
user@switch# set xe-0/0/10 ether-options 802.3ad ae0

user@switch# set ae1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching port-mode trunk vlan members fcoe_vlan - Set the MTU to 2180 for the LAG and MC-LAG
interfaces.
2180 bytes is the minimum size required to handle FCoE packets because of the payload and header sizes. You can configure the MTU to a higher number of bytes if desired, but not less than 2180 bytes.
[edit interfaces]
user@switch# set ae0 mtu 2180

Results
Display the results of the CoS configuration on MC-LAG Switch S1 and on MC-LAG Switch S2 (the results on both switches are the same).
The forwarding class and classifier configurations are not shown because the show command does not display default portions of the configuration.
Display the results of the CoS configuration on FCoE Transit Switch TS1 and on FCoE Transit Switch TS2 (the results on both transit switches are the same).
Verification
To verify that the CoS components and FIP snooping have been configured and are operating properly, perform these tasks. Because this example uses the default fcoe forwarding class and the default IEEE 802.1p trusted classifier, the verification of those configurations is not shown.

The name of the traffic control profile associated with the interface (output traffic control profile, fcoe-tcp)
The name of the congestion notification profile associated with the interface (fcoe-cnp)
Interfaces that are members of a LAG are not shown individually. The LAG or MC-LAG CoS configuration is applied to all interfaces that are members of the LAG or MC-LAG. For example, the interface CoS configuration output on MC-LAG Switches S1 and S2 shows the LAG CoS configuration but does not show the CoS configuration of the member interfaces separately. The interface CoS configuration output on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2 shows the LAG CoS configuration but also shows the configuration for interfaces xe-0/0/30, xe-0/0/31, xe-0/0/32, and xe-0/0/33, which are not members of a LAG.
Verifying That the Interfaces Are Correctly Configured
Purpose
Verify that the LAG membership, MTU, VLAN membership, and port mode of the interfaces are correct. The verification output on MC-LAG Switches S1 and S2 differs from the output on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2.
Action

The name of the VLAN in which the interface is a member (fcoe_vlan)
Verifying That FIP Snooping Is Enabled on the FCoE VLAN on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2 Access Interfaces
Purpose
Verify that FIP snooping is enabled on the FCoE VLAN access interfaces. FIP snooping is enabled only on the FCoE access interfaces, so it is enabled only on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2. FIP snooping is not enabled on MC-LAG Switches S1 and S2 because FIP snooping is done at the Transit Switch TS1 and TS2 FCoE access ports.
Action
List the port security configuration on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2 using the operational mode command show configuration ethernet-switching-options secure-access-port:
user@switch> show configuration ethernet-switching-options
secure-access-portinterface ae1.0 {
fcoe-trusted;
}
vlan fcoe_vlan {
examine-fip {
examine-vn2vn {
beacon-period 90000;
}
}
}Meaning
The show configuration ethernet-switching-options secure-access-port command lists port security information, including whether a port is trusted. The command output shows that:
LAG port ae1.0, which connects the FCoE transit switch to the MC-LAG switches, is configured as an FCoE trusted interface. FIP snooping is not performed on the member interfaces of the LAG (xe-0/0/25 and xe-0/0/26).
FIP snooping is enabled (examine-fip) on the FCoE VLAN (fcoe_vlan), the type of FIP snooping is VN2VN_Port FIP snooping (examine-vn2vn), and the beacon period is set to 90000 milliseconds. On Transit Switches TS1 and TS2, all interface members of the FCoE VLAN perform FIP snooping unless the interface is configured as FCoE trusted. On Transit Switches TS1 and TS2, interfaces xe-0/0/30, xe-0/0/31, xe-0/0/32, and xe-0/0/33 perform FIP snooping because they are not configured as FCoE trusted. The interface members of LAG ae1 (xe-0/0/25 and xe-0/0/26) do not perform FIP snooping because the LAG is configured as FCoE trusted.
Verifying That the FIP Snooping Mode Is Correct on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2
Purpose
Verify that the FIP snooping mode is correct on the FCoE VLAN. FIP snooping is enabled only on the FCoE access interfaces, so it is enabled only on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2. FIP snooping is not enabled on MC-LAG Switches S1 and S2 because FIP snooping is done at the Transit Switch TS1 and TS2 FCoE access ports.
Action
List the FIP snooping configuration on FCoE Transit Switches TS1 and TS2 using the operational mode command show fip snooping brief:
user@switch> show fip snooping briefVLAN: fcoe_vlan, Mode: VN2VN Snooping FC-MAP: 0e:fd:00 …
The output has been truncated to show only the relevant information.
Meaning
The show fip snooping brief command lists FIP snooping information, including the FIP snooping VLAN and the FIP snooping mode. The command output shows that:
The VLAN on which FIP snooping is enabled is fcoe_vlan
The FIP snooping mode is VN2VN_Port FIP snooping (VN2VN Snooping)
Verifying That IGMP Snooping Is Disabled on the FCoE VLAN
Purpose
Verify that IGMP snooping is disabled on the FCoE VLAN on all four switches.
Action
List the IGMP snooping protocol information on each of the four switches using the show configuration protocols igmp-snooping command:
user@switch> show configuration protocols igmp-snoopingvlan fcoe_vlan {
disable;
}
Meaning
The show configuration protocols igmp-snooping command lists the IGMP snooping configuration for the VLANs configured on the switch. The command output shows that IGMP snooping is disabled on the FCoE VLAN (fcoe_vlan).
Example: EVPN-MPLS Interworking With an MC-LAG Topology
This example shows how to use Ethernet VPN (EVPN) to extend a multichassis link aggregation (MC-LAG) network over an MPLS network to a data center network or geographically distributed campus network.
EVPN-MPLS interworking is supported with an MC-LAG topology in which two MX Series routers, two EX9200 switches, or a mix of the two Juniper Networks devices function as MC-LAG peers, which use the Inter-Chassis Control Protocol (ICCP) and an interchassis link (ICL) to connect and maintain the topology. The MC-LAG peers are connected to a provider edge (PE) device in an MPLS network. The PE device can be either an MX Series router or an EX9200 switch.
This example shows how to configure the MC-LAG peers and PE device in the MPLS network to interwork with each other.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Three EX9200 switches:
PE1 and PE2, which both function as MC-LAG peers in the MC-LAG topology and EVPN BGP peers in the EVPN-MPLS overlay network.
PE3, which functions as an EVPN BGP peer in the EVPN-MPLS overlay network.
The EX9200 switches are running Junos OS Release 17.4R1 or later software.
Although the MC-LAG topology includes two customer edge (CE) devices, this example focuses on the configuration of the PE1, PE2, and PE3.
Overview and Topology
Figure 6 shows an MC-LAG topology with provider edge devices PE1 and PE2 that are configured as MC-LAG peers. The MC-LAG peers exchange control information over an ICCP link and data traffic over an ICL. In this example, the ICL is an aggregated Ethernet interface that is comprised of two interfaces.
The topology in Figure 6 also includes CE devices CE1 and CE2, which are both multihomed to each PE device. The links between CE1 and the two PE devices are bundled as an aggregated Ethernet interface on which MC-LAG in active-active mode is configured.
The topology in Figure 6 also includes PE3 at the edge of an MPLS network. PE3 functions as the gateway between the MC-LAG network and either a data center or a geographically distributed campus network. PE1, PE2, and PE3 run EVPN, which enables hosts in the MC-LAG network to communicate with hosts in the data center or other campus network by way of an intervening MPLS network.
From the perspective of the EVPN-MPLS interworking feature, PE3 functions solely as an EVPN BGP peer, and PE1 and PE2 in the MC-LAG topology have dual roles:
MC-LAG peers in the MC-LAG network.
EVPN BGP peers in the EVPN-MPLS network.
Because of the dual roles, PE1 and PE2 are configured with MC-LAG, EVPN, BGP, and MPLS attributes.
Table 4 outlines key MC-LAG and EVPN (BGP and MPLS) attributes configured on PE1, PE2, and PE3.

Virtual switch routing instances | evpn1, evpn2, evpn3 | evpn1, evpn2, evpn3 | evpn1, evpn2, evpn3 |
Note the following about the EVPN-MPLS interworking feature and its configuration:
You must configure Ethernet segment identifiers (ESIs) on the dual-homed interfaces in the MC-LAG topology. The ESIs enable EVPN to identify the dual-homed interfaces.
The only type of routing instance that is supported is the virtual switch instance (set routing-instances name instance-type virtual-switch).
On the MC-LAG peers, you must include the bgp-peer configuration statement in the [edit routing-instances name protocols evpn mclag] hierarchy level. This configuration statement enables the interworking of EVPN-MPLS with MC-LAG on the MC-LAG peers.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) suppression is not supported.
