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

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.
