Hello Everyone,
1.) We have an MX105 Pair connecting to an MS425-32 stack thats acting as our core at a site.
2.) The MS425 stack is handling all layer 3 and has OSPF running
3.) the MX105 only has a transit VLAN on it
My questions are:
How would you configure the uplinks/Transit VLAN between the MX and Core?
On the MX should I even define VLANs or should we use the default Single LAN ? The Single LAN option shows as VLAN 0, so what should the port settings on the switch side be?
Should I be allowing all VLANs to pass for the Merakis to track clients correctly?
Should I be using Storm Control on the MX uplink ports?
Solved! Go to solution.
Hi @JackShep , i would configure both sides as Access ports and route between the two devices. This is described in the link provided above using Vlan 50 and a /29 subnet configured on both the Mx and switch
Maybe it will help you.
Thank you, I just noticed that they are using access ports between the MX and the L3 Stack. I had everything using trunk. Wonder if thats part of the problem.

Personally, I always use VLANs. And even when I use access ports between two devices, I still use the same VLAN number on both sides.
Then I know, no matter what device I am looking at, if I see vlan "x", what the intention or purpose is/was.
Fault finding can be much harder than building a network, so I want solutions to help me with the on-going operation of the network.
