I like the feature, and it looks like an oversight in the initial design.
Why is this not the default, adding more options obscures it.
If the port has a bridge on it then you're toast.  I think this
should be a per-port option.
Per-port sounds better than per-bridge. And I will make it enabled by
default.

Thanks!
