  • Duplicate Bridge ID KVM

    Posted on

    Hi
    I have realized once I finish creating the bridges , duplicated bridge IDs appear on

    brctl show
    :

    bridge name  bridge id           STP enabled  interfaces
    br10         8000.00505636bba0   no           bond0.10
    br20         8000.00505636bba0   no           bond0.20
    

    tested on RHEL 7.2 & 7.4

    I have tired to set up the MAC addresses manually on

    ifcfg-bond0.10
    &
    ifcfg-bond0.20
    then they were shown differently and that is fine.

    1- Now my concern: if that is the right modification need to be done or different action ?

    2- What is the difference between adding

    MACADDR
    and
    HWADDR
    in this case ?

    3- Will this affect the routing meaning there will be multiple VMs running with multiple interfaces on them ?

    4- When do we need to enable STP noting these servers are connected to upstream Switches which they should manage the STP ?

    Thanks in advance and apologies for the long list questions
