RSMLT Peers Not Up

If, after a series of reconfigurations, RSMLT peers do not transition to the up state, use the following procedure to troubleshoot the issue. You can observe this issue on dual-stack VLANs after multiple delete and re-adds of IPv4 interfaces.

Procedure

  1. Display the RSMLT configuration. This command shows whether the peers are up:

    show ip rsmlt peer

  2. Enter VLAN Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface vlan <1–4059>

  3. To recover the peers if they are down, disable and reenable RSMLT on both IST peers:

    no ip rsmlt

    ip rsmlt

  4. If the problem persists, boot from a saved configuration.

Example

Display the RSMLT configuration:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#interface vlan 1
Switch:1(config-if)#show ip rsmlt peer
