Hi ,

Linux doesn’t support multiple namspaces while= using STP in bridges . What is the actual reason behind supporting only ro= ot namespaces for STP support and dropping the BPDU packets for other names= paces. Will there be any issue if I patch the kernel to enable multiple namespace support?

Please hepl me out.

 

Thanks,

Vinod.
