From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:40:19 -0500 From: Christopher Cole Message-ID: <20120131164019.GA12262@coledd.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Subject: [Bridge] setfd List-Id: Linux Ethernet Bridging List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: Bridge@lists.linux-foundation.org I have a bridge working between a wired Ethernet and a Wifi interface. However, it takes 80 seconds before it actually starts passing data. I tried to reduce this learning delay by minimizing the forwarding delay: brctl setfd br0 0 But the above has zero effect on the 80 second delay before participation. I have tried with both STP on and off, and there is no difference. What am I doing wrong? Also, how can I get the current setting of forwarding delay and other bridge parameters that the brctl utility allows me to set? Why doesn't the brctl utility have a 'get' corollary for each 'set' command? For example, I would like to see a 'getfd' command added to the brctl utility.
