Hello, I have 2 Debian boxes configured as bridges and linking together two switches.
On both: eth1 is connected to switch 1 eth2 is connected to switch 2 STP is on PC1 is the root bridge. As far as bridging stuff, everything works. STP kicks in and eth2 on PC2 is in blocking state. The problem is that PC2 can not reliably connect to PC1. Pinging from PC2 to PC1 results in about 80% packet loss. However (and this is the weird thing) pinging from PC1 to PC2 works just fine, no packet loss at all! Running tcpdump on the PC1 br0 interface shows that only a few packets from PC2 arrive, which is why it does not respond. If I remove the bridge from PC2 then PC2 can ping PC1 from either interface (whichever I configure.) Any idea what is going on?
