This is a very interesting idea. A few questions/thoughts: will there be any eventual restrictions on which types interfaces can be L2_ONLY? Ideally, it should be possible to let interfaces wink in/out of L2 only state administratively (as can be done on a typical router, after unwinding existing config as needed) I'm assuming something will prevent an L2-only interface from being part of a vrf. --Sowmini -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
