If I have 2 switches already using RSTP with only a single link between them. Then add a redundant link using a Linux bridge with STP turned off. Will the Linux bridging code forward the RSTP BPDU's so the other switches realize there is a new path to the root bridge, and hopefully block one of the ports ?
The exact secnario is an ethernet segment spanning 2 datacenter's via a fibre link. We'd like to add redundancy using a linux bridge (bridging to a VPN tap device and routing over the net) but have since discoverd the Linux code does not support RSTP yet.
p.s
Many thanks to the developers of the Linux briding code!
Regards
Steven Williamson.
