This article provides solution to an issue where native-vlan-id option is not available under interface-range hierarchy after upgrading device to version 23.4R1 or higher.

This issue occurs when users try to configure the native-vlan-id under the group LAN interfaces hierarchy, leading to a syntax error during configuration. It happens when attempting to set native-vlan-id under groups or interface ranges via CLI or MIST. The problem affects all VLAN IDs, not just wildcards. Below is the sample configuration and the error message.

user@router> ...ch "interface-range|irb" | display set
set interfaces interface-range test member-range ge-0/0/x to ge-0/0/y
set interfaces interface-range test flexible-vlan-tagging
set interfaces interface-range test native-vlan-id xxxx
set interfaces interface-range test unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode trunk
set interfaces interface-range test unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members all

++ Even though configuration is present, it does not apply to interface as shown below-
user@router# show interfaces ge-0/0/X | display inheritance
unit 0 {
'ethernet-switching' was expanded from interface-range 'test'
family ethernet-switching {
'trunk' was expanded from interface-range 'test'
interface-mode trunk;

## 'vlan' was expanded from interface-range 'test'
vlan {

## 'all' was expanded from interface-range 'test'
members all;

++ If you try to delete that, it gives below error, but the commit goes through.
