But if the port was in the blocking state then STP must have decided there was a loop in the network if that port was used. Therefore blindly putting the port into forwarding state could cause disastrous network flood. The user can force the port back out of blocking state (via sysfs). _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
