MPLS VPLS 6Common diagnostic scenarios• You cannot configure MPLS on a port that is part of a dynamic link aggregation.Where MPLS is enabled globally on the device, a port that is configured in a trunk can beenabled as an MPLS interface port to create an MPLS trunk. You can either include a primarytrunk port that has already been MPLS-enabled in a new trunk or MPLS-enable a primary trunkport of an already configured trunk. This feature was introduced in version 03.5.00 of theMulti-Service IronWare software. The following considerations must be considered whenconfiguring MPLS on a trunk:- Only static server trunks and per-packet server trunks are supported.- Switch and LACP trunks are not supported.- MPLS is enabled on the primary port of the trunk and this enables MPLS on the entiretrunk. Secondary ports of the trunk cannot be individually configured for MPLS.• MPLS interfaces are not forwarding traffic.This may be caused because the customer is running software codes that do not match. It isrecommended that customers always update software so that all interface modules arerunning the same code. If you have questions about your software version, contact BrocadeTechnical Support for assistance.• For a VPLS VLAN that is configured as multicast active, VPLS does not accept a receiver report.This issue is resolved by upgrading the software version to include the latest patches.• MPLS traffic is lost.This issue is resolved by upgrading the software version to include the latest patches.Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR Diagnostic Guide 24153-1002426-02
