Me puzzled ;-). I brought this and the fid question up before.
No idea if my e-mail got lost or what happened.

Can you explain why we don't need a configuration for vlan 0 ?

I brought this up before. No idea if my e-mail got lost or what happened.

We use a fid per port, and a fid per bridge group. With VLANs, this is completely
ignored, ahd there is only a single fid per vlan for the entire switch.

Either per-port fids are unnecessary as well, or something is wrong here,
or I am missing something. Can you explain why we only need a single fid
per vlan, even if we have multiple bridge groups and the same vlan is
configured in all of them ?

Thanks,
Guenter
