Hi Joakim, I'm not aware if Linux bridge is aware of this. I can tell you that ingeneral, STP has problems when mixed with VLANs. To solve this some extensions have arised: PVST by Cisco, MSTP, animprovement more or less estandarized and PVST+, a new update onlyavailable in Cisco environments. In general they run multiple "STP" instances per VLAN or VLAN group.
