Hi Dominik, would you mind sharing the use case for stp via API Only? I am keen to know this.
Thanks

Vdsm exposes a per bridge STP knob that you can use for this. By
default it is set to false, which is probably why you had to use this
shenanigan.

You can, for instance:

# show present state
[vagrant@vdsm ~]$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

I don't think this STP parameter is exposed via engine UI; @Dominik
Holler , could you confirm ? What are our plans for it ?


STP is only available via REST-API, see
please find an example how to enable STP in

We have no plans to add STP to the web ui,
but new feature requests are always welcome on
