MCLAG KEEPALIVE

Hi Guys

I have deployed two DELL S5248F switches in MCLAG running   4.1.0-Enterprise_Standard. I have a problem with the "session status " been DOWN. Am using the management interface IP address for the "KEEPALIVE PEER LINK". I can ping the switch peer from each other and the peer link ports are UP. One thing I noticed is that the mclag domain do not have the option to specify "session-vrf ".  I have done the following; reapply the mclag domain configuration and also shut and no shut the peer link connecting the switches but to no avail.

SWITCH-A

Domain ID            : 10
Role                 : active
Session Status       : down
Peer Link Status     : up
Source Address       : 192.168.10.127
Peer Address         : 192.168.10.128
Peer Link            : PortChannel256
Keepalive Interval   : 1 secs
Session Timeout      : 30 secs
Delay Restore        : 300 secs
System Mac           : 1c:72:1d:9c:7d:82
Mclag System Mac     : 00:00:11:00:00:11

SWITCH -B

Domain ID            : 10
Role                 : standby
Session Status       : down
Peer Link Status     : up
Source Address       : 192.168.10.128
Peer Address         : 192.168.10.127
Peer Link            : PortChannel256
Keepalive Interval   : 1 secs
Session Timeout      : 30 secs
Delay Restore        : 300 secs
System Mac           :
Mclag System Mac     : 00:00:11:00:00:11

    Hi,

     

    My colleague from the networking support mentioned that to upgrade the firmware to 4.1.2, there is a fix on MCLAG. Let us know if it's still not working after the upgrade.
