From ae3cb3d34d0bc6adab8eb67d905c6973a5285a1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2021 12:44:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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".
