We choose the lowest address for two reasons: - It's deterministic -- doesn't depend on enslavement order. - IEEE 802.1d recommends it. I agree that always doing this blindly is not the best solution. But I don't think always doing it your way is an option. I'm open to suggestions on how to do bridge MAC assignment in a generally more sensible way. cheers, Lennert _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
