Stephen please fix this bug correctly. The bug is that the FDB gets updated with the initial MAC address, but doesn't get updated when the MAC address changes. There is no other valid fix than to update the FDB when the MAC changes, and making whatever is necessary for that to work. I'm not applying a patch that adds a MAC address comparison here, because you might was well not add the FDB entry in the first place if you're going to add a hack like that. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
