Hi all,

  Is it possible to configure a bridge (with n physical nics) with a 
span port like for example FreeBSD does??

  For example, under FreeBSD, executing this command:

  "ifconfig bridge0 addm em1 addm em2 addm em3 addm em4 span em7 up", 
result is:

bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 
1500
	ether 02:a7:16:07:6b:00
	nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
	id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15
	maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 100 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
	member: em2 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
	        ifmaxaddr 0 port 3 priority 128 path cost 20000
	member: em1 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
	        ifmaxaddr 0 port 2 priority 128 path cost 20000
	member: em7 flags=8<SPAN>
	        ifmaxaddr 0 port 8 priority 128 path cost 20000

In this example interface em7 act as port mirror or span port ... Is it 
possible to accomplish this with oi151??

Thanks.
