I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is an artefact of me doing something unusual with my design or if there is a bug in if_bridge. I'm dividing my LAN into two parts using a pair of intel pro 1000 (em) interfaces in an if_bridge bridge. I've configured this bridge with STP (802.1d) although I don'

I've tried rebuilding a kernel with OPTIONS if_bridge but this problem still happens. To re-iterate, when I try to activate the bridge with STP parameters in rc.conf, one of the bridge interfaces goes into forwarding mode, but the other interfaces remains in disabled mode. Here is what I ha

Hi, I'm trying to set up a pair of redundant (firewall) bridges which will allow fail-over using the spanning tree protocol (802.1d). Both hosts have similar hardware, HP NetServer LPr servers with dual pentium IIIs and and 4 interfaces - the onboard card (fxp0), a single port intel pro 1000
