Thread-topic: Linux kernel not supporting STP enablement in NON-ROOT namespace

Hi ,

Linux doesn’t support multiple namspaces while using STP in bridges . What is the actual reason behind supporting only root namespaces for STP support and dropping the BPDU packets for other namespaces. Will there be any issue if I patch the kernel to enable multiple namespace support?

Please hepl me out.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Thanks,

Vinod.
