Re: RSTP on "all" ex4300 Ports

Sure, this cannot work. apply-group must be within the interface and would apply settings from the group matching the (configured) vlan and  (configured) interface within protocols vstp then. Understood.

schoberw@sw1s# set protocols vstp vlan 1000 interface ae8 apply-groups XXX

would apply e.g. mode "ptp" or "edge" from the group then.

But a thing I didn't think about (because I tried to translate the EX4200 config) is that EX4300 can use port based vstp now ;-) Which make things easier.

set interfaces interface-range EDGE-PORTS member "ge-[1-2]/0/[0-11]"
set interfaces interface-range EDGE-PORTS member "ge-[1-2]/0/[14-47]"
set protocols vstp interface EDGE-PORTS edge
set protocols vstp interface EDGE-PORTS no-root-port
set protocols vstp interface ae0
set protocols vstp interface ae2 edge
set protocols vstp interface ae2 no-root-port
set protocols vstp interface ae3
set protocols vstp interface ae4
set protocols vstp interface ae7 edge
set protocols vstp interface ae7 no-root-port
set protocols vstp interface ae8 edge
set protocols vstp interface ae8 no-root-port

(An aeX cannot be put into a interface-range - so I have to add those manually)

set interfaces interface-range EDGE-PORTS member ae7
                                                 ^
invalid interface name in ae7 at 'ae7'

Anyway. This is more like cisco, where "spanning-tree portfast (trunk)" must be added per interface as well!

It's just: Let it unconfigured could lead to loops which is dangerous. Am I wrong?
