Troubleshoot the MLAG Configuration
The Creation of an MLAG Fails
If an MLAG is not created correctly, either the physical port link is not up or the configuration 
is inconsistent between two peers. First, check the peer link. Then, check the status of the 
MLAG interface.

Step 1: Check the Peer Link
1. 
Check if the MLAG is enabled globally.
2. 
Check if keep-alives are enabled in the VPC domain.
3. 
Check if the peer link is a LAG.
4. 
Check the status of the ports of the peer link.
5. 
If the ports links are up, check the status of the LAG.
If the LAG is up, skip the following step.
6. 
If the LAG is down, check if the following parameters are identical on the peer link:
Port-channel mode
Link speed
Duplex mode
MTU
Bandwidth
VLAN configuration
LACP parameters:
-
Actor parameters
-
Admin key
-
Collector max-delay
