This isn't going to work because it creates a loop. eth0 sees both tagged and untagged frames and eth0.2 sees tagged frames In recent kernels vlan 0 is supposed to work as way to manage untagged frames. Maybe using: br0 |--------eth0.0 |--------eth1.0 |--------eth0.2 |--------eth1.2 -- _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
