[Bridge] Antwort: RSTP daemon and Marvel switch

[M Satyanarayana Reddy]

Hi Oliver,

    Yes , you need DSA to distinguish from which port a frame arrived.
    DSA driver in Linux is available in below path, "drivers/net/dsa/"
  for reference " http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/dsa/"

Thank you
Satya
