[Bridge] VLAN translation + PVST+

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, I am creating a configuration where a Redhat server running 
bridge-tools 0.9.5 will be bridging between different VLANs on the same 
physical interface (for example: a bridge consisting of eth1.100 and 
eth1.110). This physical interface is being connected to modern Cisco 
switches running PVST+.

The Cisco switch does not like this configuration as the tags on its 
BPDUs are being changed but the contents of the BPDUs are left unchanged.

I need to be running PVST+ because there will be multiple Linux servers 
performing this VLAN translation/remapping (so there are going to be 
some loops that I will need blocked).

Has anyone succeeded in getting VLAN translation/remapping (bridging 
between two different VLAN tags) working with Cisco PVST+? (not simply 
disabling spanning tree). Thank you!
