Hello

Our network does physically use rstp .

We've managed switches and they are connected in a loop, for high availability.

Some of our pve systems have network stickiness - from cli there is sometimes and annoying lag. same with web network connections.

So we'll try to set this in /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
  auto vmbr0iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 10.100.100.89
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        gateway 10.100.100.2
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp on
        bridge_fd 0


regarding setting "bridge_stp on" , is there any pve networking reason NOT to do that?
