If that is true, then I think the best option is to go with: #bridge link set dev $swp1 learning off locked on #bridge link set dev $swp2 learning off locked on Then the cleanup side will just be: #bridge link set dev $swp1 locked off #bridge link set dev $swp2 locked off The state 'learning off' is then consistent with the behavior of both the bridge and driver after the cleanup.
