Is there a good way to add multiple vlans to an interface instead interface to the vlan?

You have been thinking of your Bridge VLAN table as a table with interfaces as “Primary Key”. Try to rethink that and use the VLAN IDs as Keys and “pivot” the table:
[…]
The fact that you can also specify vlan-ids=id-range is syntactic sugar to help reduce the number of repeated “rows”.

That syntactic sugar is actually want makes automating this so tough! It’s actually an array in scripting (thus config) – & even Excel PivotTable have trouble where a “cell” is a list.

@pcunite highlighted the underlying problem here, 2021:

Append Bridge vlan values

I’m attempting to set some values under the /interface bridge vlan command, namely the untagged property. Normally, I set this like so: set bridge=BR1 tagged=ether4 [find vlan-ids=10]> . However, I need a way to append the value to what is already present. Here’s what I’ve cobbled together so far, but it does not work correctly. A full example is shown below. Example: # Script Setup /interface bridge add name=BR1 protocol-mode=none vlan-filtering=no /interface bridge vlan add bridge…

Which is gap in scripting, since there is not primitive operation to add a value to a list/array attribute like vlan-ids. So these “vlan-ids” LIST make this a very hard problem in config to solve without some “find/insert into attribute” operation.

While I have some scripts here that operate on the “pivoted” view of the bridge, and maybe they help in your case IDK:

example of automating VLAN creation/removal/inspecting using $mkvlan & friends...

Index to VLAN Automation Scripts in thread This thread has grown to include a collection of scripts, posted at random points… Since some post deal with troubleshooting/bugs/commentary. I’ll try to maintain this index to the relevant “sub-topics” here. Please note that all scripts here require at least 7.17+ or some case 7.18+ to work as-is. Some script be adapted to work on older versions. But the goal here was to have “some example” of scripting VLAN stuff. For example, in my uses cases, …

And have an initial “TUI” for dealing with bridge (now with 1000+ VLANs, it does not page them, yet), but it VERY difficult to visual what’s happening inside /interface/bridge/vlan. So I wrote this to show it like Excel PivotTable:

(what that’s missing is commands to operate on the “rows” or “columns” of each, it just shows them today)
