[RFC PATCH v2 net-next 7/7] bridge: Automatically manage promisc mode when vlan filtering is on.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the user doesn't enable vlan filtering, we have to place all
bridge ports in promsic mode so that we retain the capability of
of receiving tagged frames.
When vlan filtering is enabled, the each port will be provided with
necessary vlan configuration and would be able to receive tagged
traffic without promiscouse mode set, thus allowing us to automatically
turn promiscuity on or off depending on the configuration.
