OPERATIONS

zl2d manages the Spanning Tree state fields in the switch of each port within the bridge(s). Based on a timer, zl2d reads the port information for each Linux bridge and updates the switch when necessary.

EXAMPLES

In the following example, zl2d creates a Linux bridge named bzhp0 which includes all of the zre<n> devices previously associated with the zhp0 device. zl2d then starts a background task that monitors the port information of the Linux bridge every 500 ms. and updates the Spanning Tree state fields in the hardware when necessary.

zl2d -t 500 zhp0

Once you run zl2d, use brctl(8) to display and alter your Spanning Tree settings.
