After upgrading from KB.15.18.0007 to KB.16.01.0006 some of my interfaces and trunks were removed from tagged or untagged on vlans in the configuration.  When I go to add them back I receive an error message "Inconsistent value."

Example:

Before

vlan 100
   name "Servers"
   tagged A1-A2,Trk5
   untagged B1

After

vlan 100
   name "Servers"
   tagged A1-A2
   untagged B1

The I try configure terminal

(vlan-100)# tag Trk5
Trk5: Inconsistent value.

or

(eth-A3)# tag vlan 100
100: Inconsistent value.

I encountered the exact same problem, there must definitely be a bug when upgrading from KB.15 to KB.16.  The only solution I came up with was to re-copy the startup-config file to the switch and reboot.

copy tftp startup-config xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <filename>

copy usb startup-config <filename>

Hello.  Could either of you attach your pre-upgrade (KB.15.xx) config or send me in a private message?  Also if you could include your upgrade steps that would be very helpful.  For example, running KB.15.xx in primary, loaded KB.16.xx in secondary, did a "boot system flash secondary", etc.

After the fact the best thing to do is reload the config on KB.16.xx as Craig mentioned.

Thank you.  

I did try to reboot back into KB.15.18.0007 adn I still had the issue.  I removed arp-protect on the primary vlan (I also reset the primary vlan to another vlan) and then I was fine.  I was able to put back the arp-protect on the vlan and it was still fine, so I am not exactly sure why that would have fixed it.

In my case the switches were running KB.15.18.0006.  The pair are configured with Switch-Interconnect and I'm using distributed trunking. I copied KB.16.01.0004 to primary flash.  Then ran the commands.

boot set-default flash primary

reload at hh:mm mm/dd

The next morning after the reboot all of the VLANs that were untagged/tagged on the distributed trunks on copper ports were stripped off and could not be added back to the configuration. VLANs that were untagged/tagged on fiber ports on  distributed trunks remained in the configuration

Was this issue solved with the latest ArubaOS-Switch KB.16.01.0007 version (31/05/2016)?

Among the fixed issues listed in the relevant Release Notes (here) I see that the CR_0000190804 looks quite similar (even if no relationships with ISC, Fiber Optics ports and VLANs were expressly cited):

Distributed Trunking CR_0000190804

Symptom: Network connectivity or traffic loss is observed in a Distributed Trunking (DT) configuration.

Scenario: When a Distributed Trunking switch member is rejoining the distributed topology following a reboot, the topology might experience traffic loss and connectivity issues to downstream the trunks.

Workaround: Before reboot, disable the switch interfaces configured as dt-lacp/dt-trunks using the CLI command interface <PORT-LIST> disable and re-enable them after the switch reboot with the CLI command interface <PORT-LIST> enable.

Example:

(config)#: interface <PORT-LIST> disable
(config)#: write memory
(config)#: boot system
(config)#: interface <PORT-LIST> enable
