To avoid needing to manually set it in the future, you can set it in libvirt's default network configuration. Just edit it: virsh net-edit default and change the <bridge> line to this: <bridge name='virbr0' stp='off'/> I'm surprised that leaving stp='on' with delay='0' would still create this behavior - can you verify that is current setting for your default network (use "virsh net-dumpxml default" to see the current setting) _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
