Have you considered e.g. using a GRE tunnel interface as the peer-port to be able to ensure IP multi-path redundancy in your test topology? Thereby avoiding relying on the physical peer interface not being interrupted during normal operations. (e.g. cable unplugged by accident, optic/port hw failure)Did some testing with the new MLAG feature and wrote a blog post on it.
A few things to unpack here:Have you considered e.g. using a GRE tunnel interface as the peer-port to be able to ensure IP multi-path redundancy in your test topology?

Some networks will use MLAG for geo distant (<50km) devices with e.g. L2 Network-to-Network Interconnects (e.g. 2x1x10 GE, 1x10 GE NNI per router, in an active-standby set-up). An example for this could be two service providers, where provider a uses provider b's access net to reach customers. With the set-up being provider b backhauls all traffic as L2 circuits to a geo-redundant L2 NNI between provider a and b's networks in two different datacentres.

invalid value for argument peer-port:
input does not match any value of interface
input does not match any value of interface-bond
One thing I noticed is that the documentation says "The MLAG requires enabled STP or RSTP protocol" - does MLAG not work with MSTP?
That seems an odd limitation.. I would hope that this is just a temporary state of affairs and that MLAG will support MSTP later.I just tried using MSTP on the Bridge the MLAG ports are on, it definitely does not support that version of STP.
