I'm reading "man bridge" and it says something like:



bridge vlan del dev DEV vid VID [ pvid ] [ untagged ] [ self ] [ master ]


What are "self" and "master" options for?



man says:



self the vlan is configured on the specified physical device. Required if the device is the bridge device.
master the vlan is configured on the software bridge (default).


Can anyone elaborate?



As I understand "self" is for virtual interfaces like "br0.10" etc to let the bridge (br0) know that recived frames can be for it. Right?
