We have a 14 port cisco brouter that is bridging LAT and one other Ethernet
type.  It was decided to put the interfaces in two spanning tree groups
(1 and 2).  I suspect this is causing us some grief (it was not my decision
to do this, but I am now involved with getting their network working).
Namely, I noticed that (coincidentally or otherwise) only hosts on cisco
interfaces get bridged.  However, my sampling of hosts is small and could
likely be misleading.

Any ideas?  If none (or even otherwise) could someone explain what spanning
tree groups do for me, the network and the universe?  Appreciate the help...
