That brings up an interesting point about having multiple bridges with

also and I don't have an answer other than "don't do that". Or,
better put, if you have multiple bridge on the same vlan, just use one
bridge for that vlan. Otherwise, I don't know how at the device level
to partition the vlan between the bridges. Maybe that's what Vivien
is facing also? I can see how this works for software-only bridges,
because they should be isolated from each other and independent. But
when offloading to a device which sees VLAN XXX global across the
entire switch, I don't see how we can preserve the bridge boundaries.

Scott,

I'm confused by this. I think you're saying this config is problematic:

br0: eth0.100, eth1.100
br1: eth2.100, eth3.100

But this works fine today.

Could you clarify the issue you're referring to?

Thanks,
