Stacking and Uplinks Problem Juniper ex4300 and Cisco Catalyst 2960 / 2960G

Yashas Sridat

Hello guys,

Can I know the maximum number of switches to do stacking?

In fact, I am having an issue in my network migration project, I have 2 Juniper Ex 4300 in stack mode and from the ex4300 port ge-0/0/30 and ge-1/0/30 starts all the uplinks for my cisco 2960 and 2960G, they are all in redundancy mode.

SW1
Juniper EX 4300 (Core SW) Port ge-0/0/30 => Cisco 2960G (Access SW) Port Gi0/23
Juniper EX 4300 (Core SW) Port ge-1/0/30 => Cisco 2960G (Access SW)Port Gi0/24


SW2
Juniper EX 4300 (Core SW) Port ge-0/0/31 => Cisco 2960G (Access SW) Port Gi0/23
Juniper EX 4300 (Core SW) Port ge-1/0/31 => Cisco 2960G (Access SW) Port Gi0/24

SW3
Juniper EX 4300 (Core SW) Port ge-0/0/32 => Cisco 2960 (Access SW) Port Gi0/1
Juniper EX 4300 (Core SW) Port ge-1/0/32 => Cisco 2960 (Access SW) Port Gi0/2

I need to connect 17 Cisco SW to the Juniper but as soon as I connect a fourth SW, the up-link ports of the other Cisco switches shutdown.

Here is a sample of my Juniper EX 4300 Port Conf

set interfaces ge-0/0/30 description "SW_EBE1-mu Gi0/23"
set interfaces ge-0/0/30 ether-options 802.3ad ae1

set interfaces ge-1/0/30 description "SW_EBE1-mu Gi0/24"

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching storm-control default
set protocols rstp interface ae1
set protocols vstp vlan 30 interface ae1 cost 100


And this one for Cisco Catalyst 2960G

end

interface GigabitEthernet0/23
description to ge-0/0/30

end

interface GigabitEthernet0/24
description to ge-1/0/30

end

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

I am actually working in a project of migrating a call center and the migration will be as from next week

Hi,

Not sure if I understand the question but just FYI, you can stack up to 10 Juniper 4300 series switches together.  It is called VC (Virtual chassis).  As for the 2960G, this series does not support stacking.

Can you explain your question?

Hi,

Please see the uploaded picture.

In fact the problem is that i cannot connect more than 3 Cisco SW to the Juniper ex4300, as soon as I add a fourth SW, the uplinks of the other 3 SW shutdown. The project on which I am actually  working, the client uses 17 Cisco SW.

Thanks

Hello,

The problem was solved.

Issue was with vstp.
