Create OVS Bond that supports MLAG

I have two core switches configured as MLAG peers.

I have created an LACP port channel that spans both devices, connecting to an OVS bond on Proxmox host.

With the standard LACP bond settings, the port channel comes up, but no traffic passes over it. I assumed this is because it is lacking MLAP specific interface options?

I looked through the documentation on the official OVS website but could not find anything that pertains to MLAG.

Does anyone have any experience setting this up?

TIA

no, the mlag is only on your switch side. on pve host, it's a classic bond. do you have tried with linux bond instead ovs ?
 
That is correct. I should have checked my work more carefully. I put the wrong tag number in the VLAN interface and that is why it was not working. Problem solved and working now.
