    SMLT between 3549 stack and VSP 7254 cores

    Two 7254s (core switches) connected by vIST. Attempting to connect a stack of 3549s with redundant 10G fiber links (SLT). However, when I power up these 4 devices, only one of the uplinks comes up.

    Cores 1 & 2
    mlt 1 enable name "MLT_IDF1"
    mlt 1 member 1/1
    mlt 1 encapsulation dot1q
    !
    interface mlt 1
    smlt
    exit

    Edge Stack
    mlt 1 name "ToCore" enable member 1/49,2/49
    !
    vlan ports 1/49,2/49 tagging tagAll
    !
    interface Ethernet ALL
    spanning-tree port 1/49 learning disable
    spanning-tree port 2/49 learning disable
    exit
    !
    mlt 1 learning disable

    Have checked all layer 1, known good cables, known good SFP+. Can't figure out why the redundant link will not come up. Please help!

    By any chance do you have VLACP enabled on any of the ports?

      I do not have VLACP configured anywhere on the switches.
      I figured I'd address later once I got the SMLT up. No matter what I do I get MLT CURRENT = NORM!

        what do logs show on VSP and ERS?
        Make sure no autoneg enabled on ports, not sure if possible to enable autoneg on 10 GigE as not supported, worth checking it does not show as enabled.

          I discovered my mistake.
          After creating the client VLAN I made my uplink ports members of that VLAN
          !
          vlan create 10 members 1/49,2/49
          !
          Then I wanted to add port 1/1 to that same vlan so I could test through the uplinks
          !
          vlan 10 members 1/1
          !
          I forgot to ADD the new member to the vlan. The way I did it I had made the ONLY member of the vlan 1/1. 1/49 and 2/49 still showed up as members, but I think that's because they were part of the MLT and the switch didn't know what to do. I should have added 1/1 by issuing the command:
          !
          vlan 10 add member 1/1
