There is no need to enable ip_forwarding if you are in bridge mode.=20
The brnf code moves data across the bridge for you. There is no need
for an ip interface or anything. If you are running ip_forwarding in
bridge mode turn it off. If you have a third management int or an ip
assigned to the bridge interface this may lead to an insecure
configuration.
