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

I don't see any issue with the snippet of the config you provided for the "Firewall Port". Is there a chance that the port ge-0/0/67 is referenced somewhere else in the Juniper config that when applying your trunk setup is causing issues?

Just throw that out off the top of my head and not really thinking it through.

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

I have cases open with both Cisco and Juniper on this, but wanted to see if anyone else had seen an issue like this because support has no idea.

I have a Juniper QFX 5100 Core running in Virtual Chassis mode with 4 switches. I have 4 separate stacks of Cisco 3750 switches with 2x1GB uplinks bound into 4 different LACP trunks. I have had it happen twice now where I apply a trunk port config(not an LACP trunk) to a port that isn't a part of any of the LACP trunks and it causes all 4 of the Etherchannels on the Cisco stacked switches to go into an err-disable state with these
messages:

Mar 14 07:11:34: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Port-channel17, changed state to down

Here is the config I am applying to the port that has caused this issue to happen twice now:

set interfaces ge-0/0/67 description "Firewall Port"
set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode trunk set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 9-10 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 29 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 31-32 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 43 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 50-51 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 56 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 58 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 66 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 68 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 90 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 143 set interfaces ge-0/0/67 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 170

The issue happens within a couple of minutes of committing the config on the Juniper side, there are no cables plugged into port 0/0/67 so technically there shouldn't be any BPDU's sent out since there isn't a port change.

Juniper Support wants me to turn on trace option and then run though a bunch of scenarios, the issue is that testing this takes down my network.

Just wanted to put it out there to see if anyone else had run into a situation similar to this.

TIA

Joe
