is there easier way to configure trunk port in extreme switch

is there easier way to configure trunk port in extreme switch

I'm just starting to use extreme switch, and the switch type is X450a-48t, and SW version is 12.0.3.16. when I configure the trunk port in the switch, i found that it's not convenient as Cisco Switch I used before. for example, if you configure trunk port,

in extreme switch:
create vlan tag_test
config vlan tag_test tag 100
config vlan tag_test add port 2 tagged

in cisco switch:
interface gi-0/2
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,100

if the vlans i want to tag to port is few, then i think this way is acceptable, but if there are many vlans which need to be tagged, then how should i perform it? for example, i want vlan 1-100 tagged in port 2, in cisco switch, it's very easy to realize by switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1-100. but in extreme switch, should i create 100 vlans one by one and add to port 2? is it inconvenient? but i'm newbie for the extreme, so maybe there is easier way to create trunk port which i don't know. who can help me about it? thanks in advance.

best regards.

Hey Wang

The script is located here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/017smngq3p4hrdp/AAC8iBgchTqjxVzUIxaakh4oa?dl=0

To use the script type the command load script Trunk r

The is the port ypou are using as the trunk. The r is to remove the port as a trunk port.

I hope that helps. Please test it and know that any script posted here is at your risk and is not supported.

You may need to upgrade the code but not sure

Thanks

hi Paul,

Really thanks for your help and effort, but it seems a little bit different from what i need, this script will tag all vlans on specific port, but what i need is tagging specific vlans on specific port, not all. but again, thanks for your script.

best regards.

Hi,

EXOS 12.0 is really, really, old.

That being said, the legacy xmod is one way to solve your issue.
A script is another way and is quite simple to do.
Native support in EXOS CLI is not excluded for the future šŸ™‚

To remove a port from many vlans at once, there's the trick to configure on it mirroring šŸ™‚

Rgds,
Stephane

There is a script that has already been created. Let me test it and I will repost when I have that done with a dropbox link to down load it.

i am not aware of a way to set a tagged port on multiple vlans. this is not what you asked but you can set multiple ports on a single vlan " config tag_test add port 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 tag" or config tag a po 2-9 tag
