stpd setup - Error: Please configure a stpd dot1q tag first

[alexvk]

Hi!

I have a strange problem with stpd setup. Here is what I've done (on unconfigured switch):

# create vlan vlan900
# configure vlan900 tag 900
# configure vlan "Default" delete ports 2-6
# configure vlan900 add ports 20 tagged

# create stpd stpd_vlan900
# configure "stpd_vlan900" default-encapsulation dot1d
# configure "stpd_vlan900" add vlan900 ports 2-6
# configure "stpd_vlan900" add vlan900 ports 20 pvst-plus
# configure "stpd_vlan900" tag 900
# enable "stpd_vlan900"
Error: Please configure a stpd dot1q tag first

But I just has configured stpd dot1q tag! Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

# sh ver
Switch : 800152-00-04 0709G-00388 Rev 4.0 BootROM: 1.0.2.2 IMG: 12.0.1.11

on Fri May 18 20:56:18 PDT 2007
BootROM : 1.0.2.2

I found that when I add to stp instance ports of only one type - only tagged or only untagged - I can enable that stp instance, and it seems to run well. And then I can add other ports without a problem! But after saving config and restarting switch stp does not start. In logs I see that I must configure stpd dot1q tag.

alexvk...

If you are trying to configure the Extreme EXOS switch with Cisco do not use native VLAN configuration. For example on Cisco Side.... Assuming you are just connecting two links between two switches for the purposes of testing only:

Cisco Side:
vlan 900 name vlan900

interface FastEthernet0/2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 900
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate

Notice no Native VLAN on Cisco Side. Extreme already indicates that they do not support PVST+ on Native VLAN 1 in the their concepts guide. Your configuration has port 20 in the default VLAN untagged still.

Try this. Now for the Extreme Side.

config vlan default delete ports 2-6,20
create vlan vlan900
config vlan vlan900 tag 900
config vlan vlan900 add ports 2-6 untagged
config vlan vlan900 add ports 20 tagged
create stpd stpd_vlan900
config stpd_vlan900 default-encapsulation dot1d
config stpd_vlan900 add vlan900 ports 2-6
config stpd_vlan900 add vlan900 ports 20 pvst-plus
config stpd stpd_vlan900 tag 900
enable stpd_vlan900

Be sure to add the VLAN tag at the end, just before you enable the STPD. If you add it before you add ports in VLAN900 to the domain you will get an error.

Works for me without any errors:
