Mikrotik MLAG - Notes and implementation
How to setup MLAG on mikrotik switches

Random notes:
- Between mikrotik devices they supposedly use ICCP similar to Cisco and Juniper:
- https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/cether/configuration/15-s/ce-15-s-book/ce-iccp-multichass-vlan-red.pdf
- TODO: Fill in juniper docs.
- Currently there is no wireshark dissector for the mikrotik version (or any it seems).
Odd things seen:
- After a reboot of one of the peer switches or the ICCP link drops it takes aprox 8 minutes to re-establish connectivity.
- MLAG state is connected.
- Client sees both links as active.
- Done
Bugs to investigate if fixed:

- https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=195383 - To see if we can get the info from Mikrotik or if it will have to be reverse engineered.
