Subject: [PATCH iproute2 3/6] man8/bridge.8: explain what a local FDB entry is
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2021 12:44:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210211104502.2081443-4-olteanv@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210211104502.2081443-1-olteanv@gmail.com>
From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>
Explaining the "local" flag by saying that it is "a local permanent fdb
entry" is not very helpful, be more specific.
