description Techniques for handling dynamic cascade port/LAG changes in an extended bridge are provided. According to one embodiment, a first network device in an extended bridge can maintain a shadow table that stores information regarding one or more ports and one or more LAGs used to interconnect the network devices in the extended bridge. The first network device can further receive, from a user via a device UI, a command relating to a change to a port or a LAG, update the shadow table based on the change, transmit a change message to one or more other network devices affected by the change, and start a timer associated with the one or more other network devices. In various embodiments, the updating and the transmitting can be performed without blocking the user from entering further commands via the device UI.
