.SS "Bridge Configuration"
A bridge (switch) with a given \fIname\fR is configured by specifying
the names of its network devices as values for key
-\fBbridge.\fIname\fB.port\fR. (The specified \fIname\fR may not begin
-with \fBdp\fR or \fBnl:\fR followed by a digit.)
+\fBbridge.\fIname\fB.port\fR.
.PP
The names given on \fBbridge.\fIname\fB.port\fR must be the names of
existing network devices, except for ``internal ports.'' An internal
\fBbonding.\fIname\fB.updelay\fR or
\fBbonding.\fIname\fB.downdelay\fR, respectively, to a positive
integer, interpreted in milliseconds.
+The \fBupdelay\fR setting is honored only when at least one bonded
+interface is already enabled. When no interfaces are enabled, then
+the first bond interface to come up is enabled immediately. The
+\fBdowndelay\fR setting is always honored.
.PP
The following syntax bonds \fBeth0\fR and \fBeth1\fR into a bonding
device named \fBbond0\fR, which is added to bridge \fBmybr\fR along
IP flows, such as the principals involved and duration. A bridge may be
configured to send NetFlow v5 records to NetFlow collectors when flows
end. To enable, define the key \fBnetflow.\fIbridge\fB.host\fR for each
-collector in the form \fIhost\fB:\fIport\fR. Records from \fIbridge\fR
-will be sent to each \fIhost\fR on UDP \fIport\fR.
+collector in the form \fIip\fB:\fIport\fR. Records from \fIbridge\fR
+will be sent to each \fIip\fR on UDP \fIport\fR. The \fIip\fR must
+be specified numerically, not as a DNS name.
The NetFlow messages will use the datapath index for the engine type and id.
This can be overridden with the \fBnetflow.\fIbridge\fB.engine-type\fR and
functionality is enabled by setting the key \fBmgmt.controller\fR to one
of the following values:

The maximum time between attempts to connect to the controller may be
specified in integral seconds with the \fBmgmt.max-backoff\fR key. The
