Ether-channel is not establishing over EoIP (Mikrotik) tunnel.

[sashohag@gmail.com]

Hello

I have two links. one is clear channel and another one is EoIP (Mikrotik) tunnel between two locations.  I like to do ether-channel over these links.  When I configured this, my EoIP link is showing passive and i cant transfer any data via EoIP tunnel. But clear channel link is okay and able to transfer data. 

Now my question, is it possible to establish ether-channel over EoIP (Mikrotik) link ??? 

Noted that, my both side LAN switch  are cisco.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Shohag,

From what I can see the tunnelling that you are using behaves like a bridge, which means that the ether-channel negotiation frames (probably LACP) will not be forwarded. In effect, the EoIP cloud looks like another switch in the path. It is possible that the EoIP cloud could be configured to forward the LACP frames, but this would be implementation-specific and does not appear to be the default.

Hope this helps,

Dave
