I understand that egress will follow what is setup with regard to UC,
MC and
BC, though I haven't tested that. But no replies will get through of
course
as long as the port hasn't been opened for the iface behind the locked
port.
Here, should we be rather fixing the software bridge, if the current
behavior is to forward packets towards locked FDB entries?
Yes, I think that locked entries should block egress to the respective
hosts behind the locked port, which should be fixed in the bridge.
