What if you disable STP on those tap devices? You can control this with the "other_config : stp-enable" key on the Port table. I imagine you'll want to disable STP in the same atomic transaction. You can do this by using the "--" separator in a single ovs-vsctl command to add the port and disable STP. --Justin _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
