You want 2 which is what is supposed to be use for user > mode spanning tree. I just tested this on my box, you can't echo 2 into that sysfs file (it reads back as 1). That you can change this variable at all when an userspace stp implementation is running is a bug anyway, IMHO. rstpd should do all the required settings and the kernel should prevent them from being changed while rstpd has the bridge under its control. -David _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
