I went back to a non-AE/LACP configuration. I have done 3 logical switches with (2) 8208s and a VC of QFX5100s. In that setup, I (2) uplinks from each switch member going to the each 8208. This setup is different since I am using only 1 uplink.
Everything is working as expected now but I'm fighting a latency issue that I'm working with JTAC on.
