ExtremeControl assigned vlans + bpdu-restrict

[ElliotSamuda]

Good Afternoon - We currently have bdpu-restrict enabled on all edge ports. We're looking into assigning VLANs automatically using extreme control and have it working for the most part. The only issue we have is that if we remove the VLANs from a port, we're no longer able to apply edge-safeguard or bdpu-restrict eg

Slot-1 Switch 1# configure stpd s0 ports edge-safeguard enable 1:1
Error: Port 1:1 is not a member of STP domain s0
Error: Command aborted due to input errors, no changes made

Is there a way of getting around this?

We're using EXOS 33.6.1.14

Hi ElliotSamuda, 

Unfortunately when ExtremeControl removes VLANs from a port, the port loses STP domain membership, preventing edge-safeguard/bpdu-restrict configuration.

But possible workarounds:

• Keep a default VLAN (dummy VLAN) on the port: Configure ExtremeControl to never remove a base VLAN, maintaining STP domain membership.
• Apply STP settings before VLAN assignment: Configure edge-safeguard/bpdu-restrict upfront; they may persist through VLAN changes.
• Use UPM profiles: Reapply STP settings after VLAN assignment via Universal Port Manager.
