ASR9000v nv Fabric Links in Bundle

[Gustavo Saracho]

Hi, everyone, I wanted to check out the following. Before consulting, I'll explain the topology and how it's configured. I have a network of ASR9000v satellites, connected at both ends by ASR9001 acting as hosts.
In both ends the connection is made by the TenGiga ports of the 9000v and a TenGiga port of the 9001 is used. I am trying to increase the capacity of this link from 10G to 20G, but I find that I cannot configure a bundle-eth and associate it to nv with a satellite "network".

This is:

Host(9001)<--10G-->9000v<--1G-->9000v<--1G-->9000v<--1G-->9000v<--10G-->Host(9001)

and I need to scale this to:

Host(9001)<--20G-->9000v<--1G-->9000v<--1G-->9000v<--1G-->9000v<--20G-->Host(9001)

The idea of configuration is the following:

interface TenGigE0/0/2/2
bundle id 50 mode on

interface TenGigE0/0/2/3
bundle id 50 mode on

interface Bundle-Ether50
ipv4 point-to-point
ipv4 unnumbered Loopback100
nv
satellite-fabric-link network
redundancy
iccp-group 2
!
satellite 109
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 110
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 112
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 128
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 129
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 132
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 135
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 136
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 137
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
!
!

Actually, the config is:

interface TenGigE0/0/2/3
ipv4 point-to-point
ipv4 unnumbered Loopback100
nv
satellite-fabric-link network
redundancy
iccp-group 2
!
satellite 109
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 110
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 112
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 128
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 129
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 132
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 135
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 136
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!
satellite 137
remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-43
!

If someone had the same situation or came to need to do this and knew how to increase the BW of that link at both ends would appreciate commenting on how to do.

This is a limitation listed

Limitations of Simple Ring Topology

Bundle ICL interfaces are not supported in the Simple Ring topology, but sat-ether port bundle is supported.

tkarnani first of all, thanks for your answer. yes, i found this information in the official documentation but i dont found information about sat-ether port bundle. In most cases i read about configure or how to establish bundle but one satellite conected to one Host. Again if you can explain how to establish sat-ether port bundle i'd appreciate it.

thanks in advance

Hi Gustavo,

we have the asr9k, 9000v and a client a server for example.

it is referring to having the server with a bundle/lacp link between the server and the 9000v.

the configuration is straight forwards

gig101/0/0/0

bundle id <> mode active

gig101/0/0/2

bundle id <> mode active

Thanks
