br0: starting userspace STP failed, starting kernel STP

[npolite]

Hi All,

Like the title mentions, I am getting the error when starting my network bridge. Turning off STP in the config clears this error but from what I was reading it is a good idea to keep it on. I haven't found much on how to fix it though. Does anyone know what configuration I am missing to get this working and not throwing the error?

Running CentOS 6.3 64-bit.

Here is my bridge config if it helps


DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=10.203.8.30
GATEWAY=10.203.0.1
STP=on
DELAY=0

Thanks

I take it you are running this bridge mode for VM on the system. Why do you need STP on a single system for VM's?
I do not have this turned ON on my setup as I seen no good reason for it.

Yes this is for a VM single system. I do want to look at teaming these down the road and think it would be a good idea to enable this now. I have this working on another machine but I don't remember how this was setup.
