Re: Juniper Config Commit causes Cisco Etherchannels to go into err-disable state

This are also no new vlans being used at all. They are all already existing
on the switches involved and nothing is being added. In fact what makes
this even weirder is that I already have that exact same port configuration
running on port 1/0/67 of the Juniper and it doesn't cause me any issues
nor did it cause any issues when the config was applied. This existing port
1/0/67 has gone down/up as the firewall has been rebooted and doesn't cause
any issues or hiccups on the network. For reference the attached firewall
is an ASA which doesn't do spanning tree anyways.

Steve let me clarify the config I am applying has nothing to do with an
LACP trunk or any of my existing LACP trunks. It is a completely different
configuration on a completely different interface, the only similarity is
that I am trying to configure a trunk interface on the Juniper side for
multiple vlans. There is no LACP configuration involved.

It really does not resolve anything it just allows a bad configuration to
work.  The guard is there so that if one side is configured as a channel
and the other side is not, the channel gets shut down.  Allowing it to
remain up can cause a BPDU loop.  Your spanning tree is trying to tell you
something, you should listen or you could get really hard to isolate issues.

No there isn't, but from what I am getting responses both onlist and off
list is to just run this on the Cisco switches:

no spanning-tree etherchannel guard misconfig

and that should resolve the issue.

Thanks Everyone.
