SyncE on LACP members

Hi Everyone!

 

I'm working with ASR9010 with 6.6.3 and I wonder if this is supported.

 

We have to deploy SyncE and all interfaces are bundle members. G.8264 amd1 says:

 

"It is also important to note that the use of parallel links, such as the case with LAG, needs to be carefully considered due to the potential for creation of timing loops (see clauses 5.13.2 and 5.13.3.1 of [ITU-T G.781]. As noted in clause 5.13.2 of [ITU-T G.781], the concept of a "bundle" is introduced in cases where multiple timing links share the same synchronization source (i.e., the same EEC in the case of synchronous Ethernet). In this situation, which also applies to LAG, when a network element selects one port of a bundle as its synchronization input, it has to return DNU/DUS (do not use/do not use for synchronization) on all timing capable ports of the bundle. It is left to the operators either to configure several synchronous Ethernet enabled ports or only one synchronous Ethernet enabled port of the LAG."

 

For short: To avoid sync loops, if a bundle member is used as sync source, the router should send DNU in  response to all members.

 

In my lab it doesn't work this way. Every link es treated as a different source. Do I need a specific configuration? I couldn't find any helpful info about this.

Thanks a lot!
