[Click] Question about Ethernet Switch Configuration

[Beyers Cronje]

Hi Jing,

Look on page 69/70 of
http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/click:kohler-phd/thesis.pdf for an
explanation and example of a Ethernet Switch configuration that includes
EtherSpanTree. There's also an example in click/conf directory called
kswitch.ipb

Hope that helps.
