Hi All,

First thanks for all replies.Below are the configs of customer side & our(ISP) 
side interface. On our side, we are using bridge network(which is broadcast 
domain), other customers are part of this broadcast domain.We do not have 
control on their L2 frames(STP,CDP,LDP etc).

Do customer or we need to add any other configuration so we can get it stop 
those L2 Channel errors.Current configurations are below.
Do customer need to use ACL on their side juniper srx firewall to drop/block 
those L2 frames?If yes what config customer can use.

Customer side SRX Juniper Firewall:
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 gigether-options redundant-parent reth0
set interfaces ge-2/0/0 gigether-options redundant-parent reth0
set interfaces reth0 description ISP
set interfaces reth0 redundant-ether-options redundancy-group 2
set interfaces reth0 unit 0 family inet address 2.2.2.2/30


Cisco 6500 switch ISP side interface:
interface GigabitEthernet1/15
 description Customers(many other customer IP's are here as secondary on this 
interface)
 mtu 1546
 ip address 2.2.2.1 255.255.255.252 secondary
 ip address 10.0.9.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip proxy-arp
 logging event link-status
 logging event spanning-tree status
 no cdp enable
 spanning-tree bpdufilter enable



Specifically, this counter increases when the Junos software cannot find a 
valid logical interface for an incoming frame(As customer & ISP,both are not 
using any vlan or logical interface on any side). Any config need to add on 
juniper side?

Your replies & suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan Rasheed

Subject: L2 Channel Errors


Hi All,


Our one customer is facing this issue. They are using Juniper firewall on their 
side connected to us. We are using on our side as ISP Cisco 6500 switch. Our 
side we are using bridged network environment. Our side interface configured as 
L3 interface. On their side they are getting " L2 Channel errors" & are 
increasing.


I searched & found about that L2 Channel errors arise due to the following 
reasons:

  *   An untagged interface on the SRX receiving VLAN tagged packets.
  *   An interface on the SRX, which is tagged with the VLAN id (for example, 
'x'), receives packets with some other VLAN id's or tags. This usually happens 
when the SRX interface is configured as an access port; but the interface of 
the switch connected to it, if any, is configured as a Trunk.
  *   STP runs on the interface of the device connected to the interface of the 
SRX
  *   layer 2 frames such as STP or CDP/LLDP.

Specifically, this counter increases when the Junos software cannot find a 
valid logical interface (that is, something like ge-0/0/1.0) for an incoming 
frame. Conversely, the packet is dropped.


Anyone encountered on this type of issue. What would be the solution?Need to 
use ACL on Juniper firewall etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan Rasheed
