Hello, I have a box that I use to aggregate a number of vlans which are isolated from each other(using port protection groups and bridged onto a 10G interface ix0 these are configured using a standard hostname.bridgefile as follows, cat /etc/hostname.bridge101 maxaddr 16384 timeout 300 up add ix0 -stp ix0 add vlan604 protected vlan604 1 -stp vlan604 add vlan4069 protected vlan4069 1 -stp vlan4069 . . . add vlan3982 protected vlan43982 1 -stp vlan3982
when I reboot the box ... the system does not seem to forward frames ) but if I run sh /etc/netstart bridge101 then the bridge forwards the packets just fine. interface configs are as follows cat /etc/hostname.ix0 mtu 1700 up cat /etc/hostname.ix1 mtu 1708 up cat /etc/hostname.vlan3982 parent ix1 vnetid 3982 mtu 1700 up ifconfig bridge101 yields similar results after reboot as opposed to ifconfig bridge101 after restarting the interface the only differences I saw was the index after reboot the index of bridge101 was 6 but after restarting the bridge101 the index of bridge101 was 98 (which sounds to me like perhaps the bridge was being started before the vlans on bootup) has anyone come across this issue before? Thanks -- Kindest regards, Tom Smyth.
