Ya, this is going to work because br0 and br1 are bridging untagged traffic, but br0 and br1 have different internal VLAN ids for untagged traffic, so there is no crosstalk between bridges. (I'm assuming since you used the ethX.100 format, you've vconfig created a vlan interface on ethX and added the vlan interface to brY). The vlan interface eats the vlan tag and the bridge sees untagged traffic. > Could you clarify the issue you're referring to? I'm talking about bridging tagged traffic. E.g.: ip link add name br0 type bridge ip link add name br1 type bridge ip link set dev sw1p1 master br0 ip link set dev sw1p2 master br0 ip link set dev sw1p3 master br1 ip link set dev sw1p4 master br1 bridge vlan add vid 100 dev sw1p1 bridge vlan add vid 100 dev sw1p2 bridge vlan add vid 100 dev sw1p3 bridge vlan add vid 100 dev sw1p4 Now the ports are trunking vlan 100 and the bridge/device see tagged traffic. If the device used floods vlan 100 pkt to all ports in vlan 100, it'll flood to a port outside the bridge. Oops! For the device I'm using (rocker w/ OF-DPA) the bridging table matches on vlan ID and mac_dst. There is no prevision to isolate vlans per bridge. How do you solve the above case with your hardware? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
