Hi Alexander,

1 - Yes. If you run "ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0" you'll see a default rule
that has "NORMAL" in its list of actions. This instructs the vswitch (in
this case br0), to act as a L2 learning switch.
2 - To "switch off" this behavior, just delete the rule using the command
"ovs-ofctl del-flows br0 [flow match]".
