There is no intuitive option to add static fdb entries today. 'temp' seems to have a side effect of adding 'static' fdb entries. But the name and intent of 'temp' does not say anything about it being static. example: bridge fdb add operates as follows: $bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev eth0 master $bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 master temp $bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:07 dev eth0 master local $bridge fdb show 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev eth0 permanent 00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 static 00:01:02:03:04:07 dev eth0 permanent 00:01:02:03:04:08 dev eth0 <<== dynamic, ageable learned mac This patch adds a new bridge fdb type 'static' which makes sure NUD_NOARP and NUD_REACHABLE is set for static entries. This effectively is nothing but what 'temp' does today. But the name 'temp' is misleading. After the patch: $bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 master static $bridge fdb show 00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 static 'temp' could ideally be a dynamic mac that can age (ie just NUD_REACHABLE). But, 'temp' sets 'NUD_NOARP' and 'NUD_REACHABLE'. Too late to change 'temp' now. But, we are thinking of introduing a 'dynamic' keyword after this patch that only sets NUD_REACHABLE.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
