RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mingyu Shi 2020-08-24 16:38:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
Cannot set bridge mac-ageing-time to 0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Verified with versions:
nmstate-0.3.4-12.el8.noarch
NetworkManager-1.26.0-6.el8.x86_64
DISTRO=RHEL-8.3.0-20200824.n.0
Linux sun-x5-2l-1.gsslab.rdu2.redhat.com 4.18.0-234.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 20 10:25:32 EDT 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
echo '---
interfaces:
- name: br0
  type: linux-bridge
  state: up' | nmstatectl set

echo '---
interfaces:
- name: br0
  bridge:
    options:
      mac-ageing-time: 0' | nmstatectl set


Actual results:
Failed

Expected results:
No failure

Additional info:
Use 'ip link set br0 type bridge ageing_time 0' can make it, and 'nmstatectl show br0' will report mac-ageing-time as 0, but cannot set it.

Comment 2 Gris Ge 2020-12-18 09:01:46 UTC 
Nmstate does not have to change anything, this is a bug of NetworkManager.

Reproducer:

sudo nmcli c add type bridge ifname br0 connection.id br0 ipv4.method disabled ipv6.method disabled bridge.ageing-time 0
cat /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/ageing_time
