Well, I'm not sure about BPDU packets, although I don't see why they would be treated differently (but someone else on this list must have a definite answer). I was talking about regular data packets. Usually, when refering to "port based" VLAN, we mean that the host (or the hosts) connected to that port has no knowledge whatsoever of what a VLAN is. If (and only if) this is what you want, then br0 should be directly connected to the physical port (bond or eth), and not on top of a vlan layer which will filter out untagged incoming packets, and tag outgoing packets. -- Boris Dorès _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
