Hi All,
I created 3 bridges and inter-connected them with
veth links. No external nodes are connected to this n/w and STP is
disabled and hence expected links to be silent. [Yes, I dont want STP, even though this looped topo]
I got ipv6 multicast LLDPs and hence disabled ipv6 through sysfs for all nodes.
After that I am getting
0.000000 86:79:7b:e4:8c:9f -> LLDP_Multicast LLDP 222 Chassis Id = e8:03:9a:3b:1c:28 Port Id = 86:79:7b:e4:8c:9f TTL = 120
0.000031 2a:b3:bc:44:7a:44 -> LLDP_Multicast LLDP 221 Chassis Id = e8:03:9a:3b:1c:28 Port Id = 2a:b3:bc:44:7a:44 TTL = 120
which are LLDP nearest messages which I want to get rid off.
I
was suspecting it as due to multicast_router being enabled in bridge by
default and hence want to disable. I able to disable multicast_snooping
(file is written) but could not multicast_router. Manual write with vi editor fails with sysfs sync failure.
Please let me know how I could stop these messages.

I am not able to set the value in "multicast_router" file to "0" while I can do that for "multicast_snooping"

Please let me know if any more information is needed.
Thanks and regards,
