Hello,
On recent fedora-18 NetworkManager started to set default STP for the bridges to on, this
is a change in the default of distribution, which up until now was off, I opened a
bug[1].
If you experiencing disconnect of hosts from network due to STP detection, a workaround is
available.
Simply add:
---
STP="off"
---
To the wired interfaces (eth0, em1...) before host deployment, this will be copied to the
management bridge and will prevent NetworkManager to use its default.
Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.
