Subject: man8/bridge.8: document that "local" is default for "bridge fdb add"
X-Git-Tag: v5.11.0~11
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae3cb3d34d0bc6adab8eb67d905c6973a5285a1d;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

man8/bridge.8: document that "local" is default for "bridge fdb add"

The bridge does this:

fdb_modify:
	/* Assume permanent */
	if (!(req.ndm.ndm_state&(NUD_PERMANENT|NUD_REACHABLE)))
		req.ndm.ndm_state |= NUD_PERMANENT;

So let's make the user aware of the fact that if they don't want local
entries, they need to specify some other flag like "static".
