Description

The config given below was tested on the ACX. However, we could not ping the remote IP.

Symptoms

set routing-instances evpn-aware instance-type mac-vrf

set routing-instances evpn-aware protocols evpn no-control-word

set routing-instances evpn-aware service-type vlan-aware

set routing-instances evpn-aware route-distinguisher a.b.c.d:608

set routing-instances evpn-aware vrf-target target:30999:608

set routing-instances evpn-aware vlans VL-608 vlan-id 608

set routing-instances evpn-aware vlans VL-608 interface et-0/0/15.0

 

set interfaces et-0/0/15 speed 1g

set routing-instances evpn-aware vlans VL-608 interface et-0/0/15.0

Solution

When using vlan-aware for mac-vrf at ACX, we need to use virtual-switch as instance type at MX.

Below are the config tested in lab & we were able to ping end to end.
