PVST+ simply tags the STP packets. It's the obvious, stupid, and correct solution. It's the same thing Linux does when you bridge eth0.1 with eth0.2. Of course Cisco had to change the STP packets just enough that Linux doesn't interoperate by default. /Benny _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
