Do you mean: +---------------------------+-----------------+ | br0 | br1 | +------------------+--------------------------+ | bond0.1 | eth2.1 | eth3.2 | eth4.2 | +------------------+--------+--------+--------+ | bond0 | eth2 | eth3 | eth4 | +---------+--------+ | | | | eth0 | eth1 | | | | +---------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ It looks good for port based VLAN. Thanks. For tag based VLAN, the topology will looks like: +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | br0 | br1 | +------------------+--------+--------+-----------------+ | bond0.1 | eth2.1 | eth2.2 | eth3.2 | eth4.2 | +------------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | bond0 | eth2 | eth3 | eth4 | +---------+--------+ | | | | eth0 | eth1 | | | | +---------+--------+-----------------+--------+--------+ port eth2 will get tow STP instances running on top of it, this might confuse it's MAC partner if MSTP is not supported. How could Linux solve this?
