Hello All,
I would appreciate any answers to gain some sort of consensus for my current situation. I currently have two EX9204 chassis configured in an MC-LAG along with VRRP and when simulating a failover situation by rebooting any one of the members, I experience a network disruption somewhere in the realm of 20 seconds before connectivity resumes internally and externally. What I mean by that is multi homed nodes (switches and servers) connected directly to the MC-LAG and external nodes upstream from the EX9204 switches.
I’ve been working with support for the past month and we have not been able to reduce this recovery time. What I’m trying to find out is if everyone else believes this is expected behavior from this platform? Our company went with this platform and are anxious to put this in production to replace antiquated equipment from another vendor and although 20 seconds is not a lot of time, but this failover and recovery period is somewhat unacceptable in my opinion if it were to ever happen during business hours.
Please, anyone, inform me of your experiences, guidance, and/or opinions. Thanks!
