Problem: After upgrading an ethernet port to a channel-group, all MLPPP connections fail on a Cisco ASR 1002-X. The log file looks like this:

The router continues with “O CONFREQ” but never receives the “I CONFACK”.
Discussion: In this case the router is a L2TP server and handles multiple L2TP/PPP connection. Some of them are multilink PPP connections. The ASR software has a bug that leads to these tracebacks when the L2TP connections are going over an ethernet channel group. We opened a case with Cisco support. After one and a half month we received this answer:
--- Apologies for the delay. I was held up on other critical issues and hence was unable to reach out to you earlier. I was able to decode the tracebacks observed during the time of the issue and the issue points to a known software bug as the cause of the problem.

Don't use MLPPP over port-channel. ---
Dear Cisco! This is no solution. If you define an obvious bug as normal behaviour and the only workaround is “Don’t use..”, your customers will soon remember this:
“Cisco ? Don’t use…”
Solution: “Don’t use Cisco ?”

Unbelievable !! CSCO: STRONG SELL!
