Hi All,

I  created 3 bridges and inter-connected them with veth links. No external nodes are connected to this n/w and STP is disabled and hence expected links to be silent. [Yes, I dont want STP, inspiteof this looped topo]
I got ipv6 multicast LLDPs and hence disabled ipv6 through sysfs for all nodes.
After that I am getting
  0.000000 86:79:7b:e4:8c:9f -> LLDP_Multicast LLDP 222 Chassis Id = e8:03:9a:3b:1c:28 Port Id = 86:79:7b:e4:8c:9f TTL = 120
  0.000031 2a:b3:bc:44:7a:44 -> LLDP_Multicast LLDP 221 Chassis Id = e8:03:9a:3b:1c:28 Port Id = 2a:b3:bc:44:7a:44 TTL = 120
which are LLDP nearest messages which I want to get rid off.

I was suspecting it as due to multicast_router being enabled in bridge by default and hence want to disable. I able to disable multicast_snooping (file is written) but could not multicast_router. I do this by setting the value to "0" for the bridge in sysfs.

Please let me know how I could stop these messages.

Thanks and regards
vy
