When configuring ELRP, what if you include uplink ports in your VLAN statement, but then issue the disable- port exclusion command. Will excluding the uplink ports take precedence over them being added in the first place? Thanks in advance.
if you add ELRP to the uplinks of all switches you will create a relatively high rate of flooded frames. You should limit ELRP on the uplinks to two switches in every L2 domain.
This is the recommended way to configure ELRP. In an all EXTREME network it makes it easier to trace down where a loop is coming from. Even though the uplink is excluded from any action configured it will still log a loop and tell you which port it is ingressing and egressing out of.
Sorry for the confusion. That is what I was implying. Exclude the uplinks in the disable ports list and they will not be disabled if a loop is found on them but they will still log a loop on that port.
