| |
Hello list,
this was tested using vanilla 3.7.6 kernel.
When i add a vlan to an ethernet device supporting gvrp everything is fine until this ethernet device also had a bridge.
This works fine as long as eth1 is not attached to a bridge.
# ip link add link eth1 name eth1.99 type vlan id 99 gvrp on # ip link set eth1.99 up
The dynamic VLAN stays up at the switch - no problems.
If eth1 has a bridge the dynamic vlan is created at the switch so the initial packet was send but it disappears after a few seconds.
Wireshark shows that the kernel has stopped sending GVRP packets. After adding a bridge to eth1.
Greets, Stefan
