Hi, The new RSTP code I have been working on has more info that can be shown and tweaked by the network admin when setting up the layer2 topo. I now have the problem of what utility to stuff it into. a) ifconfig b) netstat c) some new util like bridgestat I realise that ifconfig is for setting the interface config and should not be abused. I am tempted to add a new util, here is an example of what I need to show. Spanning Tree Parameters for bridge0 Protocol : IEEE 802.1W (Rapid STP), Priority : 32768 (0x8000), Bridge ID : 8000-00:d0:95:8e:56:7e, Designated Root : 8000-00:04:75:d1:f8:98, Cost to Root Bridge : 0, Root Port : None, Next Best Root Cost : 100, Next Best Root Port : 8000-00:d0:95:aa:bb:cc, Hold Time : 1, Topology Changes : 98, Topology age : 5:02:36 Interface 1 Role : Designated Link type : Point to Point ... Interface 2 Role : Alternate Link type : Shared ... Any suggestions? Andrew
