I also noticed that even before making the bridge connection between all "lanX" interfaces, the ports already communicates with each other (ping between PCs connected to other ports work). It is only that communication to cpu was not functioning, till I made the bridge connection. Is this the normal behavior (or is it that for some reason my switch behaves different) ? I mean, is it usually by default "flat switch except cpu" ? Regards, Ran > > Andrew
