Solution

Verify LACP statistics.

 

Observed that there are no "Rx" packets increments for any of the member link:

 

LAB-RE0> show lacp statistics interfaces ae26 

Aggregated interface: ae26

  LACP Statistics:    LACP Rx   LACP Tx  Unknown Rx  Illegal Rx 

   xe-5/1/20         0    5391      0      0

   xe-5/1/21         0    5391      0      0

   xe-5/1/22         0    5391      0      0

   xe-5/1/23         0    5391      0      0


 

When LACP RX is 0, we should verify configuration/ ae bundle status on other side.

Since physical interfaces are up, we do not suspect L1 issue.
