zl2d - Layer 2 daemon for the OpenArchitect switch.

zl2d [start | stop] [-t <msecs>] [-d <level>] [-f] 

     [-p <priority>] <iface..>

zl2d is run after the network interfaces are created and initialized with zconfig.  zl2d 
creates a Linux bridge for each interface using brctl(8). The bridge name is the interface 
name with a ‘b’ pre-pended to it. This command is primarily used for Rapid Spanning Tree 
Protocol (RSTP). Each port associated with the interface is included within the bridge. zl2d 
starts a background task that continues throughout the life of the Layer 2 network. zl2d is a 
script that can be modified to include brctl commands when started and stopped. Examine 
/usr/sbin/zl2d for examples of how to change common options.

start | stop

Starts or stops the zl2d daemon.

-t <msec> Cause zl2d to monitor the Spanning Tree state of 
each port on each bridge every <msec> milliseconds. If 

unspecified, the default is 500 milliseconds.

-f

Enables Fast Forward on bridge(s) using 0x4000 (16384) as 

the dynamic root priority.

-d <level> Sets the level of debugging output required by 

zl2d. The default level is one (1). Setting the debug level 
higher produces more output. Four (4) is currently the maximum 

output level.

-p <priority>

Sets the dynamic root priority. <priority> 

should be specified as a decimal number.  A priority of 0 

disables root priority change.

<iface…>

The network interfaces on which zl2d should 

operate. These network interfaces must first be created by 

zconfig. zl2d does not operate with standard network interface 
cards. It only works on switch network interfaces created by 

zconfig.
