Maybe you need to add special entries to its forwarding database for the BPDU destination MAC address? If you cannot get BPDUs to be passed, i think that means you cannot offload bridging to the switch. So you also need to remove bridge join and bridge leave. I've no idea if you can still do HSR under those conditions! Andrew
