How to configure XOS to use EOS default spanning tree configuration

Eric_Jones — Sat, 25 Jul 2015 20:16:00 GMT

I have worked with EOS for several years without any spanning tree problem, I would like to know how to mimic the default spanning tree setting in EOS on an XOS device(i.e. what commands would I need to use to have XOS stp work just like EOS stp?)

Hi, Do you know about E2X translate tool that we have made available on Github? That sounds like a good tool to help you. https://github.com/extremenetworks/E2X

It sounds like an interesting tool, but considering that the spanning tree is preconfigured I don't know the commands that would need to be translated. Would I need to do a (:show config all command) in EOS then copy the stp section into the E2X translator?

Hi,
yes, the STP section of the config could be pasted as a file and the tool would translate it. I've written a quick how-to for E2X, it should be posted soon.

By default, E2X adds the EOS default STP configuration to a generated EXOS file, so if you only have default configuration, that would be inserted automatically. E2X knows the different default config in both EOS and EXOS and adapts to it, unless specificaly told not to.

Now, if you use the following EOS config (stp.cfg):set port jumbo disable *.1.*
set spantree mstcfgid cfgname Showroom rev 1
set spantree msti sid 1 create
set spantree msti sid 2 create
set spantree mstmap 1,20,50,100 sid 1
set spantree mstmap 30,101,102,103 sid 2
set spantree priority 4096 1
set spantree priority 8192 2
E2X would translate that into EXOS like that:

C:\01 - EXOS\Features\E2X>e2x stp.cfg

The tool that Stephane used to convert EOS CLI to EXOS CLI is described in the GTAC Knowledge article below. Let me know if anyone has problems getting it working.

What about converting Extremeware to XOS? Any plans.....?

In many cases, ExtremeWare translates very well to EXOS without additional intervention or conversion.
If you're having trouble with specifics, I invite you to create a new topic here or to open a ticket with GTAC.

Why not put the script in a web page on the Support Portal and thus would not need to install anything on the computer. These types of tools should be able to run as online and offline.

Stephen and I actually discussed this yesterday. I agree and think that we should look into this - it's a good idea.
