#Create the virtual interfaces
tunctl -t tap0
tunctl -t tap1
ifconfig tap0 up
ifconfig tap1 up
#Create the bridge
brctl addbr br0
brctl stp br0 off
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 tap0
brctl addif br0 tap1
#Turning up the bridge
ifconfig br0 up
However my problem if that the tap interfaces always appear disabled in the bridge, and no traffic flows to them.
$brctl show br0
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.080027cabeba no eth2
tap0
tap1
$brctl showstp br0

Is there any way to set the tap interfaces in forwarding state? I do not understand why they are not because STP is disabled.
