Solution

Once we configure no-auto-negotiation on the interface on EX4300-48T the interface comes online.


    et-0/1/0 {
        description et-0/1/0
        ether-options {
            no-auto-negotiation;
            802.3ad ae1;
        }
    }
    et-0/1/3 {
        description et-0/1/3
        ether-options {
            no-auto-negotiation;
            802.3ad ae2;
        }
    }
