Description
When creating a bridge, it is possible to create multiple bridges which contain the same interface(s), which is invalid.
For example, with OPT3 (em3), OPT4 (em4), and OPT5 (em5) I am able to create two bridges in the GUI: OPT3+OPT4, OPT4+OPT5, but in the OS the second bridge is missing OPT4 since it cannot be on two bridges at once:
: ifconfig -a [...] bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 02:fb:d1:bb:af:00 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: em4 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 5 priority 128 path cost 20000 member: em3 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 4 priority 128 path cost 20000 bridge1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 02:fb:d1:bb:af:01 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: em5 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 6 priority 128 path cost 20000 : ifconfig bridge1 addm em4 ifconfig: BRDGADD em4: Device busy
The bridge "Member interfaces" list in the GUI should either remove or disable entries for interfaces that are already on other bridges, and present an error if a bridge is saved that somehow contains overlapping interfaces.
