Hi All,

I just wonder is there a equivalent command option for ovs-vsctl to show the 
stp information of the bridge and ports attached as "brctl showstp" does? 
How can I tell what state each port is in? I have looked at the docs, it seems 
like there is no such command option. I have also tried to use "brctl showstp"
directly on the openvswitch bridge, it gives the following output:

$sudo brctl showstp lark

This is achieved as I disable the STP after created the bridge. I didn't see 
the information of ports connected to the bridge. However, I do
have a eth device attached to the bridge.

Also if I disable STP, does the five states of STP protocol still apply to the 
interfaces? Or they just move to forwarding state immediately?

Thanks.
