G'day :)
I've had my firewall up for a few days now and suddenly today, every
5-8minutes, I've been getting errors like the following in my logs -->
Feb 18 15:32:01 moat kernel: br0: received tcn bpdu on port 2(eth1)
Feb 18 15:32:01 moat kernel: br0: topology change detected, sending tcn bpdu
Everything seems to be working fine, I haven't noticed anything stopping
or out of the ordinary, but I'm curious to know what causes this and if it
should be something I should be alarmed about. Its the sort of message I
would expect if I was changing ports at the switch, but I'm not, so I'm
wondering where its coming from.
Cheers,
Ryan.
PS - Technical info, if it helps:
eth0 and eth1 are Intel Pro100 cards
OS is Linux 7.2 running kernel 2.4.17 with the latest bridge updates
