EVPN ESI behavior
ACX7024 is DF for a ESI active/standby: When a underlying IFL is brough down, all IFLs go down as well under the IFD. Below exmaple has AE7 with 2 IFL. One is brought down and other that is up goes down as well. labroot@f22-37# run show interfaces ae7 | match ccc Flags: Up SNMP-Traps VLAN-Tag[ 0x8100.10 ] Encapsulation: VLAN-CCC DF Protocol ccc, MTU: 9192 Flags: Up SNMP-Traps VLAN-Tag[ 0x8100.110 ] Encapsulation: VLAN-CCC DF Protocol ccc, MTU: 9192 labroot@f22-37# run show evpn vpws-instance AL01 Instance: AL01, Instance type: EVPN VPWS, Encapsulation type: MPLS Route Distinguisher: 10.100.0.1:65534 Number of local interfaces: 2 (2 up) Interface name ESI Mode Role Status Control-Word Flow-Label-Tx Flow-Label-Rx ae7.10 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 single-active Primary Up No No No Local SID: 100010 Advertised Label: 17 Remote SID: 200010 Interface name ESI Mode Role Status Control-Word Flow-Label-Tx Flow-Label-Rx ae7.110 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 single-active Primary Up No No No Local SID: 100110 Advertised Label: 18 Remote SID: 200110 Number of protect interfaces: 0 Fast Convergence Information ESI: 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 Number of PE nodes: 1 PE: 192.168.2.2 Advertised SID: 200110 Advertised SID: 200010 DF Election Information for Single-Active ESI ESI: 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 DF Election Algorithm: Preference based Primary PE: 10.100.0.1, Preference: 200 Backup PE: 192.168.2.2, Preference: 100 Last DF Election: 2024-05-21 14:34:58 Disable interface ae7.110 labroot@f22-37# set interfaces ae7.110 disable [edit] labroot@f22-37# commit commit complete abroot@f22-37# run show interfaces ae7 | match ccc Flags: SNMP-Traps CCC-Down VLAN-Tag[ 0x8100.10 ] Encapsulation: VLAN-CCC DF Protocol ccc, MTU: 9192 Flags: Down SNMP-Traps CCC-Down 0x00000004 VLAN-Tag[ 0x8100.110 ] Encapsulation: VLAN-CCC DF Protocol ccc, MTU: 9192 labroot@f22-37# run show evpn vpws-instance AL01 Instance: AL01, Instance type: EVPN VPWS, Encapsulation type: MPLS Route Distinguisher: 10.100.0.1:65534 Number of local interfaces: 2 (1 up) Interface name ESI Mode Role Status Control-Word Flow-Label-Tx Flow-Label-Rx ae7.10 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 single-active Backup Up No No No Local SID: 100010 Advertised Label: 17 Remote SID: 200010 Interface name ESI Mode Role Status Control-Word Flow-Label-Tx Flow-Label-Rx ae7.110 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 single-active Backup Down No No No Local SID: 100110 Remote SID: 200110 Number of protect interfaces: 0 Fast Convergence Information ESI: 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 Number of PE nodes: 1 PE: 192.168.2.2 Advertised SID: 200110 Advertised SID: 200010 DF Election Information for Single-Active ESI ESI: 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 DF Election Algorithm: Preference based Primary PE: 192.168.2.2, Preference: 100 Last DF Election: 2024-05-21 14:38:21 Peer: labroot@f23-42# run show interfaces ae7 | match ccc Flags: Up SNMP-Traps 0x4000 VLAN-Tag [ 0x8100.10 ] Encapsulation: VLAN-CCC Protocol ccc, MTU: 9192 Flags: Up SNMP-Traps 0x4000 VLAN-Tag [ 0x8100.110 ] Encapsulation: VLAN-CCC Protocol ccc, MTU: 9192 labroot@f23-42# run show evpn vpws-instance AL01 Instance: AL01, Instance type: EVPN VPWS Route Distinguisher: 192.168.2.2:65534 Number of local interfaces: 2 (2 up) Interface name ESI Mode Role Status Control-Word Flow-Label-Tx Flow-Label-Rx ae7.10 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00single-active Primary Up No No No Local SID: 200010 Advertised Label: 17 Remote SID: 100010 Interface name ESI Mode Role Status Control-Word Flow-Label-Tx Flow-Label-Rx ae7.110 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00single-active Primary Up No No No Local SID: 200110 Advertised Label: 20 Remote SID: 100110 Number of protect interfaces: 0 Fast Convergence Information ESI: 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 Number of PE nodes: 1 PE: 10.100.0.1 Advertised SID: 100010 DF Election Information for Single-Active ESI ESI: 00:00:00:00:11:22:33:00:01:00 DF Election Algorithm: Preference based Primary PE: 192.168.2.2, Preference: 100 Last DF Election: 2024-05-21 14:38:22
This is correct behavior. To avoid this you can use ESI/IFL or use ESI active/active.
